6 Months Old!

Today there was not much action. That is a good thing for Ethan. Grandma was with him and then Dad! There is not much to report. He did get his new (larger sized) trache put in. So no more snoring and baby noises coming from Ethan. This is a good thing though. His air leak was so bad that his ventilator was ALWAYS alarming if his head wasn't in the best position. Even Ethan was getting irritated with the noise. The only real change is they decided to go up on his nesiritde drip to maximize heart & kidney function (aka make him pee more). He is peeing really well, but he needs an extra kick in the diaper. At the rate he is going he will still be puffy at his first birthday. . . Which reminds me. . . Happy 6 Months Old to Ethan!!! (hope the next 6 months go more in your favor son).
I had a good day playing mom at home. And even got out in the evening thx to some friends who came and took over for a few hours.
Thanks for the continued love and prayers-
Heidi
