They are weaning him off of his pain medicine, Fentanyl. They think that perhaps his increase in heart rate also had to do with withdrawal symptoms. So now they are giving him methadone to help with that.

Day 12 - 1
Nicholas looks so good today! He was able to get his oxygen nasal cannula removed. He also had his arterial line removed, only because it was bleeding all over, but still, they are okay with leaving it out. So he has both hands free now and can chew on them all he wants. He is a much happier boy!

What a great update!! He looks so great and so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJamie, I could just eat him up! He looks so much like Luke :o) So glad to hear of his progress!
ReplyDeleteJamie, what an adorable picture. I hope those tubes are gone very soon. Do you have an estimate from the dr for when you can hold him?
ReplyDeleteHe looks gorgeous, Jamie. I know things will continue to go well. Start taking care of yourself, momma. You'll need all the energy you can muster once you are back home with those two beautiful boys.

ReplyDeleteSuch good news! And he looks fabulous, Jamie! We'll keep praying for him. The kids love mentioning him every night! They ask to see pictures, and remember him by name.
