Today was intense. They took Andrew to Children's to remove his breathing tubes, then they sent him back over to Parkland. When he got back he needed a lot of help breathing! They tried the c-pap, then they used a mask, they even tried to stick a tube down his nose, but he did not like that at all. Kenten and I were actually in there for part of the drama. It was very nerve racking to see Andrew struggle and turn white! He finally stabilized a bit, and now he has a c-pap in. They are going to check his gases every 4 hours tonight, and check his blood sugar levels. This means Andrew cannot eat. He hasn't eaten since 2:00am yesterday morning. Poor Thing! This is what he looks like now. :( Not exactly breathing on his own, but hopefully getting closer. (The tube in his throat is a feeding tube.)

ReplyDeleteBeen watching for a Caring Bridge update and just saw this! Precious, precious Andrew! Sounds like he got his momma's courage and tenacious spirit. I echo Kelly that all the Waldrums are rock stars.
