Daily/Weekly Thoughts

Happy but Cabin Fever!

Here's some words from Alisha and Josh. 

Emmett is still recovering from RSV in BC Children's Hospital. We've been here since Friday, January 26 and we're all going a little stir crazy! Emmett was intubated on Tuesday, Jan.30 in order to help with his breathing. He was extubated last Monday and is doing very well all things considered. We don't have a timeline yet as to when we will be going home but we're hoping by this weekend. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and your thoughts as we have gone through this very trying time as a family. Your support has been felt. Please continue to pray for Emmett as he gets back to full strength and pray for Alisha and myself as we continue to care for him.

 

They have both been busy with this active little boy who is still confined to his bed. Last night he slept for several hours straight - the first he has slept well since the weekend (when they began reducing the sedation). He's busy saying Hi to everyone who comes into his room - and then cries when they leave. What a social butterfly. His lungs are sounding clear. His voice is returning. Yesterday he was breathing without any assistance for a two hour stretch and that will be expanded today. And as he continues to bounce back to health, we are looking forward to having him back at his home.

 

Hopefully we'll be adding some photos later today.
