I just spoke with R's nurse and she shared nothing but good news. R remains on the high frequency ventilator and 24 hour dialysis. His blood gases are drawn every four hours. His values have been very slowly improving over the last 24 - 36 hours. As R improves, changes will be made to the settings on his ventilator and dialysis so that, eventually, he can be switched to the other ventilator and he can come off of dialysis.
R was also given a particular anti rejection medication for the first time today. He tolerated it well. He also switched from an IV to an oral medication for his heart (rate) medication. He also tolerated that well. The nurse told me she changed all of his dressings and gave him a bath and he tolerated those well also. If only all kids tolerated a bath as well.
We are very thankful to the Lord for this latest update. We know that God's hand is on R and we are going to walk in faith, believing God will restore him to good health. We will be sure to give God His due glory throughout the process. Thank you for praying with us.
