Central line

Joey had a central line placed yesterday and he's doing well with that. Both the lines in his belly button are out now, so that can be healing up. He's still on very low vent settings and the doctor tried to make them even lower yesterday, but Joey let us know that he wasn't quite ready for that pretty immediately. He's getting somewhat bossy about what he wants. :) His sedative is down some more, but not quite off yet and his feedings have increased from 3mL/hour to 5mL/hour. That's not much yet, but it's better than it was. I got to hold Joey again on Monday for about 40 minutes which was awesome and he had no lung issues this time. :) Thanks again for all the prayers and please keep praying for Joey to get the fluid in his abdomen off, be able to breath without the vent, get up to full feeds, and move his arms and legs around more now that his sedative is coming down. Thanks again.
