5/8/10 - Day 5 - PM Post

So today was a good day I guess. Hard to say "good day" when your child is in ICU. But I say good day.

Steven remains stable. His vitals are good. His chest tube was removed today! His lung is good so far...Yeah! A chest xray was done to see if there are any problems from removing it and so far so good.

They also took an xray of his lungs and they are clear. Thank God...I was worrying about that. Initially they were rotating his bed to help keep his lungs clear but once they found the fracture in his spine, they stopped the rotation.

His sedation meds were reduced to 3mg/hr. Please pray that he can tolerate it. That would be a wonderful mothers day present to make it over another hurdle.


Thanks everyone for all the prayers...keep em coming! They are working!
