Day 2 Recovery

Everett had a good night. He only needed morphine once and otherwise, his pain was controlled with Tylenol. One of his doctors came by and turned off the pacemaker! His heart rate is fast enough on its own now. They will probably leave the pacing wires in place until tomorrow just to make sure he is okay without them.

Two nurse practitioners just came in to remove his cardiac lines. In 30 minutes, if he has no bleeding complications, they will remove his chest tubes. Please pray that he will not have any complications from either procedure. We can hold him as soon as the chest tubes come out. I can't wait!!

We still don't know for certain when Everett will get to leave the ICU. He has not been interested in eating so he will probably need a feeding tube again. Please pray that he will eat on his own as soon as possible so that he won't need the feeding tube at home.

Our little man is so strong. God has taken care of him throughout this whole experience. We will continue to update you today on his progress. Blake's grandma's funeral is today. We hate that we can't be there to celebrate her life. She is missed so much already. Please pray for Blake's family today.
