March 1, 2010 9:26 pm - 10 days old... a New Setback

Jayden had a bit of a tough weekend. They tried to change his position to prevent too much fluid build up in one spot but he did not tolerate the position changes well & his levels became unstable and they had to change him back to the high frequency ventilation machine, a type of ventilator that improves oxygenation & washes out carbon dioxide. It is good for helping keep the carbon dioxide level down but they can't do the correction surgery until he come off of it which could be a week or more. 

On the upside he opened his eyes for Mom Alicia for the first time Sunday night and Alicia was THRILLED.

Alicia is improving every day and hopes to be up to driving soon.
