Good Morning

We stayed with Josiah until midnight last night and then walked back to RMH.  We were able to sleep well until the alarm woke us at 6:30 (pumping time).  I called the night nurse who said she had a busy night.  Josiah's heart rate went into a funny rhythm but they gave him medicine and the rhythm returned to normal.  He was put on a cooling blanket to help decrease his heart rate.  Later he was put on a pacemaker because of lower blood pressure.  The pacemaker is currently set at 170 beats per minute.  The oxygen saturation levels have been the problem overnight.  They've been in the 50s.  The staff physician and the surgeon were at his bedside discussing next steps when I called just before 7:00.

We are getting up now and will eat some breakfast before heading to the hospital.  We're thanking God for getting Josiah through the night and for such an amazing medical team.  "His mercies are new every morning."

Thanks for your prayers!  We'll keep you posted.

Blessings,

Elizabeth and Graham
