Little Fighter

Nathan has been doing a lot better today. They have been lowering the sedation today and he has been moving, or shall I say fighting all day. Nate is proving to everyone that he may be small but he is a fighter. They had to restrain his arms and legs to keep him from pulling his chest tubes and central line out. He opened his eyes and looked at us twice today. All his stats are great and they plan to attempt to extabate tomorrow. They may remove the chest tubes also but we aren't sure yet. Hopefully they will so we won't have to worry about Nathan removing them for the docs! He still has very little bleeding from the heart and they feel this will not cause any problems. Overall I will say he is doing amazingly well. We are so thankful and we are praying he will continue on this uphill route.

As for Sal and I we are still waiting for a room in the spinal unit. We are next on the list so hopefully we will have one by tomorrow. Until then we are camping out in the PICU waiting room which has been eventful to say the least!! Thanks for all the prayers and support. Everyone has been so wonderful to us and we are very blessed to have the families and friends to love and support us. It helps a lot. Hopefully I will continue to have good news to report in the days to come. We love ya'll.......Julie and Sal
