Great news tonight, he got his vent tube out. But since he has a very small throat the doctors do not want him to eat anything to get in his stomach so that he does not throw anything up and irritate anything. It is pretty heart breaking seeing his face and hearing him cry b/c he is hungry and not being able to feed him something. he has a feeding tube at the monent b/c of the vent tube, it just surpases his stomach and strait into his intestines. so he is getting food but his hunger is very much there. steph was able to give him some pedialite to make him feel like he is eating. Coming by information on joshua is definatly slow and steady in the PICU. Which is frustrating and calming at the same time. In the NICU, we were kinda in the loop all the time after I stopped scaring people. In the PICU, it's almost like going to a murder mystery party where not everyone wants to play and you end up a couple of hours behind. But then again we got to know everyone in the NICU so well that they wanted to talk to us. Tomorrow they are going to do a test to see where the food goes when he eats, I'm not exactly sure what they are doing but it will give us some insight on how we need to feed him.
Thank you once again for praying for my little guy!
Please pray for our financial situation, for it to work its self out.
Pray the Josh does not feel hungry tonight and that he does great on the test tomorrow.
