a little bit better
Maverick's 6pm blood gas was the best of the day! He actually doesn't look better to me because he continues to be very edematous, but the doctor said he felt much better about where Maverick was tonight than where he was last night. He did have one episode where his heart rate dropped into the low 100's and they started the pacemaker on him (he still has temporary pacer wires in place since his chest is still open), but he went back into his own rhythm and he hasn't needed any further pacing. They were able to turn off the bicarb drip and the calcium drip this afternoon. Only one more fluid bolus has been needed today. We're just praying for a good night - one day closer to being out of the critical time period, hopefully. He's still paralyzed and sedated, so no more moving or opening his eyes for now. He just needs the rest. jc

Juli & Greg,
So glad that the blood gases were good and that he's pushing through this critical time. The agony of the constant ups and downs must be so difficult to go through. We're just sending our thoughts your way for the ups to keep edging out the downs. Just know that there's lots of support waiting for and your little guy back home. Looking forward to the updated pictures.
Meredith
