This morning Andrew laughed. It was awesome. He laughed several times throughout the day at some of his favorite shows. He did some great walking with Physical therapy, probably about 10 ft this morning & then 5-6 ft in the afternoon. He is chatting more like himself. All such good things for our hearts!
He still hasn't really slept more than an hour at once (most often about 15 minutes at a time) in the past couple days. They are going to try some melatonin tonight with the hopes that he can some much needed rest. As you can imagine, it's hard to feel really good on little sleep. His body is also working hard on recovering. He has periods where he gets cold sweats & shakes. His white blood count was a little lower this morning, so we're hoping it continues to trend down. Sill working on taking that last step off of the IV sedation medication.
Good steps forward. Praying he can continue to chug along in the right direction without any major setbacks. It is difficult to see him experience the ups and downs throughout the day. He has been a great trooper through it all and we are very proud of him. We CANNOT wait for him to be well so we can take him home! We CANNOT wait to be home with Luke and Fiona as well. They are being so good with grandparents and we are very proud of them as well!
Thank you so much for your continued prayers. We have such hopes for our boy!
