Time for a daily update on Mr Peter...PAK-Man...Peter-Bear....Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater! All in all Peter had a good day. He continues to remain stable - meaning no surprises which is great! He is barely on any oxygen at all and they are trying to get him to none. He has been on and off oxygen through out the day, and the doctors are confident that he will come home without oxygen needs. Due to the VSD they actually want his oxygen saturation levels on the lower end to protect his lungs. We expect that he will develop a slightly blueish tone (does that make him Peter Smurf?!....dating myself aren't I?). He continues to improve his respiratory rate although still on the higher side. We are thankful that we are headed in the right direction - thank you God for answered prayers! Peter and I had a lot of snuggle time today - time I will never again take for granted. Please continue to pray for little Peter's recovery, his heart and also his little ears. Peter failed his hearing test - but no one seems too concerned at this time. He responded to conversation level noise, but did not to levels just above whispers. He will need to be retested at a future date. John will be heading back to the Springs on Thursday as John's parents will be headed out for a week. We are so thankful that they have been available to care for Alexandra, Michael, Jack and Tom-Tom. Peter and I will miss having John here, but know that each day is a day closer to being back in the Springs as a family. We are so thankful for all the love, prayers and support!! We are so blessed!! Love, John & CatherineCheck out the mohawk!
This was a rare moment of Peter playing with John....in the early weeks Peter conserved his energy by sleeping a lot.
