No News

It has been a quiet weekend. A lot of Ethan's numbers have been good. The big hold up right now is his blood pressure being on the low side. Hopefully we will be able to get off the dopamine soon. He is still the size of house, but comfy. Comfy is all that matters! Right now we are taking it day by day. The only for sure plan is to trache him this week. They don't want to do too much, so they won't go to cardiac cath this week (unless we have to). Taking it slow and hoping his heart recovers. Just grateful his kidneys have. Now I just wish they could up his diuretics to make him less puffy. . . But they don't want to push it too soon.
LOL-

PS: We are grateful to our dedicated nurses who love and cherish Ethan. We have been able to spend a lot of time with our other kiddos this weekend. Thanks!
