No this isn't the bed Elijah has at Children's Hospital! He is still recovering from his surgery to remove the blockage in his kidney. The surgery went well. It has been 2 full days in his recovery and everything is moving in the right direction.
We hope to have his breathing tube removed and then everything else will follow. Elijah is slowly getting he sedation medication reduced. The doctors tried taking it away today, but he was pretty restless and the number 1 priority is to keep him comfortable.
He is pooping & peeing freely so the plumbing is working. Just got to make sure he doesn't get fluid build up in his lungs as he breathes more on his own. Not sure on when he will get discharged, but as of now it looks like Monday.
We want to thank everyone again for your kindness, thoughts, prayers, and continued support. Take care, talk to you soon.
Hey guys! I haven't checked this blog in awhile but see that you have been through another surgery. Please know you are in our thoughts. My heart goes out to you guys, especially little Elijah- what a trooper! When things settle down and you are up for a road trip we would love to have you come for a weekend. Your strength is inspiring. Keep posting, as I try to check this blog regularly to see how things are progressing for you all. Take care! Hugs and kisses to baby Elijah!!! Renee Markas (and Chris too)
