I went by to see Carrie & Baby Heath and had the wonderful treat of seeing for myself just how great he was doing. After the necessary "Gran" kisses, I looked at the monitors to discover the very good news that his blood pressure, O2, heartrate...everything is exceeding expectations. Of course, the medical team is always cautiously optimistic, but Heath continues to amaze them with his progress. When Heath came out of surgery he was on 70% oxygen and today he was already down to 30% O2. He is still sedated of course, but they may try to lighten his sedation tomorrow and see how he does. Perhaps a couple more days on the ventilator and if all goes well, he may be off of the vent entirely.
The are anticipating a minimum of 2 weeks in the hospital but will all depend on how well he continues to progress. The entire family is pretty exhausted so they were all going home to get some sleep tonight. Carrie is running on lots of adrenaline and is practically giddy with their good news. They appreciate and continue to be sustained by your love, well wishes, prayers and support.
More updates to come.....
One VERY grateful,
"Gran" Sarah
