12:30 something AM update....

He has had a rather rough evening...with what appear to be a bit of PAIN.....
I'm not sure the pain meds are working the best...

• Avery's blood count is very low.....

• They are trying to identify where & if he is bleeding from somewhere....
  
  
• He may need a transfusion tonight.....or they may try to hold off a little
  
  
• He has had several apnea moments...where he kinda stops taking a breath,but the machine picks it up.....
  
  
• AS an FYI----that does not mean he is 100% dependent on the ventilation machine ...it just means he is having some moments where he forgets to breath....there could be several reasons for the apnea periods...they are addressing it
  
  
• They have upped the rate of the venting machine...to see how he does
  
  
• Heart Rate has been really high....again there could be many reasons for that....some being the things I mentioned above...bleeding,temp...ect....
  
  
• Temp very high
  
  

So basically....there is a lot going on...some could be ALL related to the surgery itself....and the intensity of what he went through.....

• He has needed to be suctioned;something that does not thrill him....but is needed....this is not the deep suctioning he usually gets.....but enough that he's not to happy...
  

At this point the surgeon wants to check levels again in a couple hours....and if he continues to show any other signs of bleeding they will intervene.....

SO I am so glad that sleep is overrated...ha ha ha

So all the is to do now is...

Trusting the Lord with all my heart and leaning not on my own understanding...


To:Andrew ,Tyler & Devynn...Avery thanks you for the hugs and kisses:)
