Bryson...Bryson.....Bryson...
What is mommy going to do with you. Since Friday you gave mommy and daddy quite a scare. You started bleeding excessively and the doctors said that they weren't sure that they were going to be able to help you. They got the bleeding stopped but it was touch and go for a while. They had to abruptly take you off of ECMO and because of that no one knew how you were going to do. They put you on the conventional vent and cranked up the o2 to 100%.That was Thursday night. They started a new cardiac drug to help with your pulmonary function and then we just had to sit and wait. Well, I am pleased to say that it will be 4 days and you are doing fantastic. Besides the little swelling and edema that you have, they have started turning you on your tummy and you like it alot. Your stats go to 98 percent and stay up there. You are at 31% O2 and holding at 98 and 99. They dropped you on your gas from 20 to 9.2. It is great news and we are so happy. They are going to put a small OG tube in and start feeding you in a day or two. I have been pumping like a crazy woman so I hope you do well with it. To see the turn around you have made brings tears to my eyes. I still hate to see you struggle and they have to keep you on quite a bit of pain medicine and sedation but you are still doing ok. Your progress is nothing short of a true miracle and I praise God for it.
I love you,
Mommy
The doctors are very encouraged and the word that one of your pediatric surgeons used was, " it is remarkable." So, we are taking it one hour by hour and just day by day. I love you so much and you will never know how much we have prayed for you.
