Friday, December 23rd
Late yesterday, last night and today have been moving along in the right direction. They have been playing with Ian's oxygen levels but his inhale and exhale levels on the bi-pap are down. They are hoping to have his oxygen levels down to 30% and then give him a break from the bi-pap and just put him on a regular oxygen mask for 30 minutes to see how he does. He is still eating with his ND tube and not complaining of being hungry any more. His chest x-ray continues to show improvement. Brian brought his wheel chair up to the hospital today and we are hoping to get him up and sitting in it for a little bit. I have come home for the after noon as I promised Becca I would get her off the school bus and take her to buy Ian a present. So we are going to head out to do that soon. I will have dinner with her, while Brian has dinner at the hospital with his parents. Sometime later tonight, we will make the switch and I will go back to the hospital for the night while Brian comes home.

We are most likely looking at 3-5 more days in the PICU as they can not transfer Ian to a regular room until he is back to his baseline or they have established a new baseline...

Thank you to everyone, especially our parents, Nana, Pop, Nana and Pop-Pop for all you are doing to help us get through this. Pop..don't worry you are the 1st one to come visit when Ian is home...

All of the messages, text messages and emails are wonderful...hugs and kisses to all.
