On top of having his arterial line (accidentally but thankfully) removed, Elijah also had his chest tubes and catheter removed today! He has even already gone potty a few times, which is awesome since he's had a hard time with that in the past. We got him out of bed and he took a few steps to the chair to sit up for a bit and watch a movie. I just can't believe how well he is doing.
Dr. Moga did mention E's slightly higher than desired blood pressure, so we've been keeping an eye on that today. Just in the past hour, it has started to come down a bit. His oxygen sats are getting better, as well. All steps in the right direction!
He is in MUCH better spirits today, but still remains Sassy Elijah. He's pretty content chilling in his bed and watching movies. Dan just got back from a nap, so I might go take a turn, as sleep has not exactly been plentiful. Thanks for checking in!
