Another Setback

I really do not know what any of this means as far as his recovery, but Blake's numbers have gone up unexpectedly and they have had to put him back on the ventilator for assistance. It was kind of weird because things were looking so well and they had been talking about releasing him soon, then this happened.

Here is the text that I got from Becky this morning.
-Here is the latest and greatest. Blake was about to leave ICU this morning when his numbers started going crazy like when we came in Monday. So now he is on the ventilator getting something called c-pap and he seems to be lots better and loves hearing himself babble with it on. So now this for maybe a couple of days and then 24 of observation in ICU to see if he is strong enough to breathe on his own before he can move onto a regular room. What a rocky road but he is a champ!

Starting A New Week In Primary Children's

It has been a week since they went BACK into Utah. As of yesterday afternoon Blake was still in ICU. It seems like a bit of a roller coaster on his numbers. Just as I am typing this I got a message from Becky: -Blakey went back on the c pap for more pressure support at 4:30 am because he started breathing hard again. So still in ICU for a bit ... no clue when he will be ready for a regular room.

Poor guy. You just can't count on anything until it happens.just talked to Becky for a min. She said that they keep having to put him on the assist. She did get to hold him today. It sounds like he gets spurts of energy, then wares himself out. She has found that if she stays in the room that Blake wont sleep, so she had just left so he could get some rest. I guess he feels like he needs to entertain her...:)

I am sure that it is getting tough for Becky to be away from her home and her family so much. I am glad that dad has been in there and has been doing such a good job of supporting and helping out. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers as well.
