The team just finished rounding, it's been a busy day around here, but happy to report that it wasn't up holding up the rounds this time :)
Caelen is starting to show improvement. His chest drainage is slowing, although it is still a lot. His lungs are still wet, but getting a little better. He's even going to start 5 cc of formula an hour today with the hopes of adding more. The esmolol is helping his heart to slow and fill and has been dialed back a little too.
I think overall the team is happy to see some progress finally and we're all crossing fingers that Caelen is turning the corner. Although they reminded me that this is a big corner, but still, I'll take it. Dr Spray has come by twice this morning to check on him and the staff has said it's almost unheard of for Dr Spray to come so often. Clearly he is invested in Caelen and we couldn't be happier with the care that Caelen is receiving from everyone here.
Speaking of Spray, he wants to hold off on any surgical decisions over the weekend and see if Caelen can continue this upward trend. That makes all of us happy. Caelen is still very sick, but I really do believe that he will overcome this and come back fighting. Prayers are working and prayers are healing, so please continue. Knowing how many people care for my son and care for our family is overwhelming and beautiful. Thank you for lifting Caelen up.
Love,
Katye
