Elijah had another good night, and is much more himself today after being weaned off some drugs. His arterial line had to be removed at midnight (quite the ordeal) because it was bent in half (??), and ever since then his blood pressure has been higher than they want it. He is still wearing the nasal cannula for oxygen because his O2 sats are in the low 90s. His heart rate is a little higher than it has been, too. Dr. M and crew will be making rounds shortly, so I'm sure we will hear their thoughts on everything soon. We heard yesterday that his chest tubes might be removed today, which would be great!
Dan and I took turns sleeping in our very nice RMH room last night, but we are still exhausted. Starting tonight we will take turns going home and being with Sammy. Hopefully sleeping in our own bed every other night will help a bit.
We are thankful that our friends and families have been taking such good care of us! Thanks, everyone, for keeping our monkey in your prayers, and for loving all of us.
More later, once we hear from Dr. M..

Hi Megan,
Checking in on that precious little boy of yours....seeing all of the photos brought tears to my eyes, especially the ones of him in his hospital bed surrounded by his stuffed animals. I'm so glad to hear that his recovery is moving right along as it should be! I am so proud of Elijah....he's our little hero! I know he must be feeling so yucky, but he's been so brave and has gone through so much. Please give that amazing boy a gentle hug from us. We are praying that he continues to get stronger and happier each day! Thanks for the update, Megan....get some rest!
Lots of Love & Prayers,
Wendy (& Emma, too!)
Sending our prayers your way, hopefully Elijah gets well very soon.
Take good care of yourselevs.
