Hard to believe that today makes one week since I brought Rex to the ER. Today was a good day for Rex. He was able to breathe on his own from four this morning until five this evening. He remained sedated for the day. At five the doctors came in to check on him and decided to start some support again from the ventilator so that he could get a good rest tonight. Sometime tomorrow morning they will try to extubate.
The boys were here for a few hours today. It was a great relief for me to have them here and allowed me to run to the apartment to do laundry, shower and change. Before they headed home we gathered around Rex and prayed for him. During our prayer he woke up and was able to see the boys before they left. Rex Jr is headed back to California Tuesday and I was glad his dad was able to see him before he left town.
Dr. Smith will be back tomorrow and I am anxious to hear an update from her. So far it appears that the infection is still under control and Rex is holding his own. I do know from the cardiologist that his heart is still good and strong.
Until tomorrow,
Goodnight and much love,
Janelle
