(From Jayden's CaringBridge Page)
Today saw some encouraging signs along with very concerning ones. Jayden has quickly worked his oxygen requirements back to room air levels on the oscillating ventilator & his CO2 levels are the best we have seen in days but the kidney numbers continue to be discouraging, his output is still low & the staff seems to think his swelling has not gone down much and are getting very concerned. I think the swelling has gone down just a little tiny bit but it could just be my optimism. Getting the kidney function to pick up & keeping the other numbers stable are the priorities right now. The waiting is so very hard.
The hospital chaplain that was on duty and in the resuscitation area the day Jayden was born stopped by tonight and talked to Alicia & I for a long time. The chaplain used to be a nurse and is also a mom so she was really able to relate to the situation on all levels. Before we had to leave at shift exchange she joined us in giving Jayden a blessing & praying for him. We are amazed of how many people are praying for this little man!
