Whew... finally. Third time is a charm? This morning they finally achieved success in getting Will's PICC line in. This is good news. This new line is deeper into his vein and lasts much longer than the line he had going into his belly button. This allows for less chance of infection and overall it is more comfortable for him.
Besides this, what can I say besides... God. Is. Good. Will is much more stable than just a couple of days ago. His oxygen is at 25 - 30% and his pressure was lowered all the way down to 16. At many times during the day he was breathing on his own over what the ventilator was doing for him - and one time we even noticed that when the vent was breathing in, he was breathing out... this is huge progress and shows his strength. His blood sugar was normal all day along with his jaundice and blood pressure.
During our evening visit, the nurse had just changed his linens and snuggled him all up into his blankets. He looked so comfortable and peaceful.
Thank you to everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers, they are working! We know that he still has a long road ahead, but with support like this, we know he can do it!

Aimee, David, and Amazingly Strong Will,
My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. I have faith that Will will continue to make strides in his progress. I love the picture of the three of you together! Such a family...full of love and faith. If you need me for anything, don't hesitate for a second...I'll be there. I'll be watching Will's progress and will keep all of you in my thoughts.
Love you all,
Keri
