Resting in the ICU

Well the surgery went great,his brain activity during was great & they ended up needing too take cartilage from two ribs because hes so tiny.Right now they are trying too figure out vent settings,how many breaths per min. to give him because his Co2 levels are off.He woke up for about three min.,moved his arms & legs he really didn't know what was going on though,so they gave him some morphine until his cocktail of pain meds,anesthetics,& paralytics kicked in.Ahhh!!! As I was typing his vent wasnt working properly & they had too bag him,Ahhhhh! Hes fine though,it was a long three min.! Thank you for "being here" with us today Love,Angie & Jay

Glad he's out (of surgery and asleep). The sedation is a constant juggle, be prepared! The scariest part is over. Now rest up for the next big story: extubation.
