A rough night
Mav started having some blood pressure and perfusion issues last night. They had to start him back on milrinone and epi. They started dopamine last night as well. He's having an inflammatory response to the procedures they did yesterday, which means his little capillaries are leaking and he's retaining fluid again. He's still on the ventilator and is on a fentanyl drip for pain. Poor little guy. It's just heartbreaking to see him going through all this again. The doctors are hopeful things will start to turn around tomorrow. One thing about Mav is that everything seems to be on his schedule and not the doctors or mine. They've restarted some strong antibiotics just in case he's getting an infection, but his labs are good and they don't think that's the problem. His chest tube output has decreased quite a bit, which means the procedures they performed yesterday seem to be working. Say some prayers for little Mav - I know you all are. I'll update tomorrow. jc

Hey Julie. I am so sorry this has been such a rough road. It is so frustrating when things take longer and don't go the way you planned. When you do make it home (and you will, even though it doesn't feel like it now) you will look back on this amazing time and see all the wonderous things that God has done through this, and before you know it, Mav will be celebrating his first birthday and you will sending his pictures to all his nurses and bragging about what a wonderful little boy you have. I am praying for strength and rest for you and that Mav will start a rapid healing so you can be together as a family in your own home soon.
Praying for you all,
Cindi Draper
Greg and Juli-
My love to you both. And little Maverick too. I wish I could be there to hold your hands and hug you both. I know this is a hard journey for all of you. I ask God's keeping, his healing, and his love to cover ALL of you right now. Rest in him tonight and His love for Maverick. I ask that his mercy and grace would continue to wrap around you like a warm hug. May his angels sing over Mav as he is resting. I love you.

Please know that we are continuing to lift all of you up. May His perfect peace and comfort hold you up. May His presence be so strong that you can taste it. May His healing hand work with great haste.
