Lovely Boy spent the day cruising down on his ventilator settings (thank God!) and maintaining good blood gas levels. There's a rumor going around that he might be ready for the conventional vent as soon as tomorrow. But we're very happy to let the Rafa Man dictate the pace of things. He's already made such strides in such a short period of time, a rest break would be a wondrous idea for all concerned...
What a miraculous blessing our baby is. We're so lucky to know him.
P.S. Please pray for Rafa to start losing some fluid--he's a champion pee-er, as we well know, but he could use some help. He's now on both Lasix and Diurel to give him a boost. Here's your fluid chant:
FLUID-OFF-FLUID-OFF!

In this case, boring is wonderful! I'm so happy that Rafa is making so much progress. I'll keep praying, and chanting, and sending loving thoughts. Much love.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear this! Yes, it is great to see how much progress baby Rafa is making in such a short period of time! Abuelita Celia, abuelito Jose Antonio and I keep sending our prayers and loving thoughts. Keep going Rafa!

ReplyDeleteRafa, think race horse. Pee like a race horse (when you're older I'll teach you different language for it. I like the idea of being your evil uncle).-Josh
ReplyDeleteKeep going, you little dynamite! You rock!
Josh, Margaret, and David
Just think, "Pee as much as John...."
ReplyDeleteThat ought to do it.
SO glad it was a mostly uneventful day. Boring can be GOOD!
Love forever, John, his mom, Linda, & Stan too!
