Josh is doing "okay". He is still really tired and lethargic and letting the vent do most of the breathing. One of the cultures was positive but they had already started the antibiotics (gentamicin and vancomycin) this morning. His blood pressure has been good but he is still having desats and some heart rate drops. This could be because the tube gags him or because he is just sick. Just overall a crappy day for the little man. This will delay his surgery, as they won't do it until the course of antibiotics is done in 10-14 days. So now it's just waiting for them to do their thing and him to get back to his old self.

Hang in there Joshua. There are much better days ahead! Glad to see that you keep getting bigger and stronger.
Love,

Poor guy. He definitely needs to become more stable before that surgery...so although we have to wait, it will be better in the long run. Those antibiotics will kick in though and he'll be on the up and up again in no time. Kisses for Joshua tonight and big hugs.
Love
Michele, Doug and Chance
