Talked to D at midnight. Today was a pretty stable day. She and C were both there all day and she got to have some time to go outside and take some breaks today him there all day. She is down--completely understandable, but hanging in there. She laughed today a few times on the phone and with the nurse, and I know B must LOVE hearing her laugh. I know that even when in a coma or on life support, the deep subconscious can still often hear what you are saying--and we know B is listening cause he nods in response.
They tried reducing the amount of oxygen they were giving him down below 35%, but it got rough for him, so they left him on where it was. Unfortunately, B is still on life support, with the machine breathing for him. I think this is just to conserve his energy to heal from the surgeries and to help him b/c of the pneumonia and lung collapse. But not sure when he'll be off of it.
D said she read him 20 books today. He kept wanting one more. His heart rate went down to 120 (which is good) while she was reading to him--I'm sure he just loved hearing mom's voice reading to him. His blood pressure has gone down some too. He is still critical, but stable and D told me the nurse is really nice tonight, too. Yippee!
Keep those prayers and anyone that can give blood, it is much appreciated.

Prayers are pouring in for that little man, he is definatly being thought of along with his family on a regular basis. Any news on his latest condition? The doctors are probably going to give Johnathan (my nephew) a blood transfusion soon, I can not donate blood, but will be donating platelets in both the little angels names (B and John). Keep us updated on how things are going with him, I will also keep you all updated with Johnathan's condition as well.
