The good news is Marshall’s labs came back fine yesterday. There’s no real reason to keep us here especially since Marshall has steadily gotten stronger every day. So we are…drumroll please: GOING HOME! Unless…Marshall’s labs at 12:30 p.m. come back weird. Which is always possible. Fingers crossed. I have three big wild boys I ABSOLUTELY […]
So Marshall threw a curve in the path to get home. He has a fever. I hope he is just teething… since he keeps biting me this is a possible cause. And I refuse to consider other causes…so please send big thoughts and/or prayers to our littlest man.
There were no surprises other than Marshall woke up when the sedation shpuld have taken hold. There were a couple of concerns regarding where the veins return (something they will monitor closely) and the function (which hasn’t changed much). But everything looks good.

As for how he is doing, he is grumpy today (which is nothing unusual since his body needs time to adjust to the new circulation). This morning he had the last of the […]

And he is raking his hands and fishing with his fingertips pull what’s left of their bandages, tubes, & instruments. So after the nurse, floor doc, & marshall went a round this morning over an […]
Dr. Friedman stopped by yesterday after Marshall kicked his atrial lines and moved over to the floor. Even Dr. Friedman agreed “Marshall is progressing so well.” Yesterday he made lots of progress despite being quite irritable and out of it. He lost his chest drains, then had chest xrays (which looked good), they lowered the […]
Marshall spent 205 minutes on bypass during his most recent surgery. I try to stay in the here and now but it is impossible to NOT worry…
But so pleased to say I AM MINUTES AWAY FROM HOLDING MY BABY AGAIN!! Marshall worked hard today. And he made his nurse work even harder. They ditched his vent, his femoral and arterial lines, and decreased a bunch of his i.v. meds to make room for his oral meds. Little steps, big progress. and […]
