Day 12, 1-29-07

PICU at Baptist continued to be a busy place on Sunday. The doctor visited with me early and said they were starting to wean him off the ventilator but he would be slow. He hopes that by mid week Parker will be completely off but told me not to hold him to that time frame. He said Parker's body will let them know when it is time. They turned the vent way down and after a little time the doctor and respiratory therapist came running in the room. Parker was telling them "no" to turning it down that quickly! The doctor indicated that if I didn't see him during the day that meant Parker was doing good! Didn't see him anymore that day, except for passing in the hall! The IDD doctor yesterday indicated that the new cultures they took showed no new infections! And he even indicated that we are going to get Parker through this.

Parker was more awake, responding to voices and trying to open his eyes and see what is going on. He gets a little scared when they start moving or treating him because not being fully awake he doesn't know what is happening to him.

Our prayers are definitely being answered! Love, Kay
