I wasn't in the room with Timmy with the camera today, but I got to look into his eyes and hold his hand. He got lots of kisses, he got sung to and talked to, he got prayed over, and he took a nap.
It was the day to bring the kids up, so the 8 oldest got to see their mother.
Many of them have sniffles, so we thought it best not to have them in to see Timmy today.
The update for today is that Timmy's feeds in the g-tube are going well. The diuretics are all switched over to the g-tube, and the weaning of the ventilator starts tomorrow. If everything is done perfectly, without setbacks, the ventilator weaning could be complete in about 2 1/2 days. That is a big IF, it could take significantly longer. After the vent weaning, there is the matter of the final two medications being changed to medicines he can come home with, and making sure all the supplies and caregivers (us) are ready for Timmy to come home. There are a lot of details, but also a lot of people working out the details to make things happen. On top of that, we have a God who is orchestrating all the details according to His plan and His timing.
We continue to be grateful for all of the above.
