It's been a great day!
He is now 2 days old and truly an angel! Today has been a GREAT day! He is now completely off the ventilator and only on the CPAP mask for his oxygen!!!! HUGE!!!! He wet his diaper several times today which had his nurse practically giddy! AND they did an EEG that seemed to appear normal, which means that even though he is having tremors they aren't necessarily all seizures. This all has been such an encouragement today.
Thomas and Jennifer finally got to see and talk to their baby boy. They are already such wonderful parents, we couldn't be more proud. The family got to sit down his entire team of doctors to answer any questions and talk about the next few days. Can I just say that Grady Hospital has been beyond amazing!
Please continue to pray that he defies the odds! Specifically that the seizures will stop completely, that his blood ph normalizes, and that he doesn't have any complications when they begin to bring his body temperature up.
Thank you again, for all your prayers and words of encouragement! They are being heard and felt!!!
I am so glad to hear this much good news about Porter!!! He has been in my prayers today and I will continue to pray for him. I know God hears our prayers, as some have already been answered!!
