Good news, bad news

Good News:

  • Bridger had a better night Monday night than Sunday night
  • The doctors have put off the heart catheter until Thursday (don't ask me, but I guess that's a good thing)
  • Bridger has two loving hard working parents, and several grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. rooting for him
  • He has not had any more seizures...just the one on Sunday
  • The doctors are slowing down the dosage of the paralytic (a medicine that paralyzes all muscles) so he can wake up a little
  • They are putting in a feeding tube, which is great because he hasn't had any food this whole time (just IVs)
  • As of now his little heart is still holding it's own and not failing like it tried to do Sunday

Bad News:

  • Bridger is still not breathing on his own
  • He is still in the PICU and will be until they can figure this mess out
  • Staci has put off going back to work to be with her baby 24/7
  • The doctors have several thoughts on what is making him so sick, but really, there are no cut and dry answers
  • Cristy, Todd, Jeanne, JP, Staci, and Danny have had no real sleep in the past 60 hours or so

So, we wait and we pray and that is all we can do for the moment. I'll be asking Staci if there is anything she needs right now and then let you know.
