Every day the nurses have to change out the lines, yep all those lines go into Henry every day.. he's only on about ten to twenty different meds! Our nurse Julie loves it because it's like a puzzle trying to hang them and hook them up in some sort of order.
Just hangin' out with his snake. Spiked a fever and the red rash was flaring so we had to try and cool him down and help him relax.
Just after surgery Aug. 20th, 09. The gauze is covering up the gaping hole where the first Hickman line was, and on his left arm is the PIC line, double lumen, and very drugged. Today we dropped the Morphine a bit because he would sit for a few minutes and then his eyes started closing and he acted drunk. :) But doing well over all.
Sponge Hat from our good friend Ben. Thanks Ben it fits perfectly! And Henry loves it. He is definitely a hat boy, and very self conscious about getting his picture taken right now. Aug. 21, 09

You are the most handsome boy I have ever seen in my life:) don't tell bryce he might get jealous:):) Elle can;t wait to meet you and we are so excited you are being so strong!

ReplyDeleteI've been checking your blog daily for many months now and just realized I could comment! You continued strength and faith is awe inspiring. Little Henry is so lucky to have such devoted parents who never give up hope. He is truly an amazing baby boy, giving it his all everyday no matter what is thrown his way. Keep fighting, Henry! I'm not even particularly religious but I've been praying for you any way I can! Love you all, Rach
ReplyDeleteI checked several times yesterday for this post too.....we couldn't wait anymore, so Eric called Mom to see how things were going. Happy to hear that surgery went well and Henry didn't have to go back to ICU. I put up a Happy Birthday banner for Elizabeth on myfamily...I hear she will have two parties this year. I know it must be very hard for you both to be away from her today....we will pray as always! Stay strong!
