Josiah's day nurse gave him a full bath today and changed his dressings while we were at church. It was nice to see him clean and much less puffy. The lasix was doing its job; Josiah was peeing ten times his normal volume.
He's hasn't changed much the last two days. He's been kept heavily sedated and muscle relaxed. He hasn't had the profound desats like Thursday and Friday. The nurses said he would be up for discussion tomorrow. They thought that the doctors might want him to go for another cardiac catheterization so that they can measure the pressures and get a better idea of what's going on. It would be nice if his saturation levels would improve so that he wouldn't need to have this procedure.
It was wonderful to have Isaac with us this weekend. Graham and Isaac left for Kitchener around 7:00 tonight. Isaac is staying with his aunt, uncle, and cousins for a few days. He wasn't quite sure what to think of Ronald McDonald when he showed up at RMH but he definitely wanted to watch him without getting too close. There are a number of other children here that are close to Isaac's age so it's nice to see him play with his new friends.
That's all the news for now. I would love to see Josiah's eyes open. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
Blessings,
Elizabeth
