Update

These pictures are from Saturday when we were able to hold him for the second time...



Will had another stable day today. They have done another big round of blood tests aside from the normal everyday tests and so far most results are within normal ranges. Two of the three tests that look for infection were normal (thank you, God!). Some things are a little high or low like calcium, creatinine, and bilirubin, but are under control with either medication or phototherapy.

Dr. Simko is back on shift and talked about making another attempt on the PICC line tonight, but it sounds like he may wait until tomorrow and just change out Will's arterial line.

Beginning last night, the night nurse, Shelly, started turning Will onto his tummy - and he LOVES IT! I also found out last night that his weekend/night nurse, Shelly, is from Patterson! I went to school with her Aunt (boy do I feel old!). In my defense, her Aunt is only 8 years older than her. :-)

Thank you again for your support - Will is hanging in there and this Thanksgiving will take on a whole new meaning for us.
