A quick update. This morning during rounds, they said Hudson is going to stop getting Morphine pumped into him. Yay! Also, they pulled the pacer wires out and he seems to be doing well.
He did have a couple episodes of de-sat’ing last night (his oxygen saturation in his blood is less than optimal… In you or I, our oxygen saturation is close to 100% but because of his plumbing he will be around the 65% +. He dropped to the high-50’s a few times last night so please pray this is just a small bump in his road to recovery and his sats will increase over the next while as he adjusts. His stomach is retracting a bit (pulling-in/working harder) while he’s breathing so they are keeping a good eye on his progress.
Gabby and I can’t say enough good things about the staff at NICU and how great they are. We definitely are in the right place. They’ve taken such good care of him it’s almost going to be hard to leave!
There is also talk of him going up to “4C” which is a floor above us and the care is 1 nurse/2 babies but they won’t allow Hudson to go up while he’s on Midazolam (so lets get him off that! haha!). they will ween him off Midaz after they see how he tolerates not getting any Morphine today… He does seem to tolerate Tylenol pretty good though.
Praise God! He is so good and faithful!! We continue to pray for Hudson and the family but are so excited to hear about the progress he is making. We love you lots!
Thanks Megan! We love you guys too. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. I’m still bummed about the care package goodies! 😉
