At this mornings meeting the neonatologist stated that Joshua should continue to be paralyzed until tomorrow morning to give his body more time to recover. She also said that the numbers (blood pressure, Heart rate….) looks good but she still does not want to rush into the next step (waking him up).
The plan is that Joshua will wake up tomorrow and hopefully breathe very softly to his re-position lungs. The concern they have is that Joshua might do the opposite and wake up breathing very heavily. That is a concern because it can cause damage to his artificial patch (is what is separating his organs apart).
At this moment (1:18pm) Joshua’s results are great….they are now reviewing his echocardiogram (heart x-ray) to determine if his heart is working properly.
