Good Morning
Another brief'er: Josiah had a couple spells last night, not sure if they would be classified major or minor but we are drawing up some blood with his secretions so the spells would certainly have been more intense and painful (hopefully it wasn't because a nurse suctioned too deep or too aggressively). And he has had one small spell this morning, but he didn't d-sat or brady, just needed PEEP for a while. You can pray for Josiah's strength and that he won't have any other spells today. Thankfully the doctors haven't talked about sedating him today (yet), but if Josiah were to have more spells throughout the day sedation would become a likely option.
The doctor is planning to do a trach change for Josiah for 11:30 this morning so you can pray that that goes smoothly (the change has gone awesome every time so far). The staff have probably decided that the trach needs to be replaced in case there is bacteria growing on it or something (or it could be getting coated with secretions, narrowing Josiah's airway). And tomorrow we are planning to feed Josiah some of his stored frozen milk for three days just in case Marie is sick (she's been feeling off for some time now) and is as a result causing Josiah's sickness to drag on.
Thanks.
In God's Love.
- Andrew, Marie & Josiah

Stumbled upon your blog through links in this weird blog world. I've been reading now for over an hour though I should be in bed. We had a 3 month NICU stay with our 28 weeker 17 months ago. Without a doubt, the hardest, most trying time of our lives. My heart goes out to you. I will pray.
