Not much for news today. They did remove his intubation, or I guess more accurately HE removed his intubation. Apparently early this morning he finally managed to grab ahold of the tube and extubate himself. Lucky that was already the direction they were planning on taking him!
The main surgeon told us that it should be pretty obvious pretty quickly whether or not the NJ tube fixed the problem by getting rid of the reflux. Well....his bradycardia/dsat issues have continued. Amy and I are both pretty floored at this point in time that the same surgeon who told us that if the breathing issues continued or worsened is still saying that we should wait and see. To be honest, we were told by the hospital that he is going on vacation next week, so we are both feeling like he is using the "wait and see" technique to buy time so that Pierce's surgery doesn't cut into his vacation time. Heaven forbid, since he just got back from France two days ago.
Sorry all, that was my moment of vent. Pierce will be great! He's a very strong little man and despite being a pretty unhappy little boy about the pain in his throat, he was able to have mommy hold him for several hours today so that is progress and we are both grateful for that.
No more news tonight that I can think of! I'll write more tomorrow and maybe even figure out how to get a few pictures on here!
