Light At The End Of The Tunnel

I can finally say I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hunter looks awesome. He continues to be off dialysis. Some of his blood work is still elevated, and once that hits a certain point, they will remove the catheters that are used for dialysis. I am hoping by Sunday. He continues to do well with the vent changes, and the hope is to try and take him off the vent either later today, or tomorrow to see how he does. They discontinued his daily xray since he is clinically improving so well, and we will just order as needed.

So, we are finally going to be able to start addressing the issue we were originally coming in for. Hunters tummy still is not tolerating feds. His nurse Joyce had a fabulous idea about converting his G-Tube to a J\G Tube to see if that would help him tolerate his feeds. So, we talked with GI and they thought we could give it a try. So, hopefully some time today he will be going to radiology to get that changed. Please continue to pray and keep your fingers crossed that this helps with his feedings.

So, we are seeing the light. Granted, we still have some things we need to get figured out and wrapped up before we can go home, but home is coming in to site.

Thank you again for all your love, prayers and support during this difficult road. It has been a long rough road but I knew we could make it.

God Bless
