5pm update

Hello,
Braden is starting to "come around" a bit. He's still pretty ticked off at us for bringing him here. He took comfort in our arms and was able to sleep a lot today while holding him. He just ate for the first time today, and guzzled a generous 4 ounces. As for meds, he still on one of the heart meds, Milrinone. He's also on an anti-clotting med, Heparin. They have been giving him an IV form of ibuprofin for his headaches and a little morphine here and there for pain. They also have him on antibiotics as a precaution for any infection that may arise. His blood pressure goes up a bit when he's ticked, but it's been pretty stable without meds. Overall we're pretty pleased with his recovery. He's one tough cookie and a little stronger than the nurses would like him to be :-)

God is listening to our prayers - thank you for all of yours.

Love,
Steph and Rich
