Daily Update

Joey is still doing pretty well today. I have to keep reminding myself that he's only 9 days old, so I have to be patient (very difficult for me). They've started Joey on a new medication that is supposed to help him get off of his last blood pressure medication and one of his inhaled meds. The respiratory therapists are doing percussion on him now every few hours to help mobilize his secretions out of his lungs, so that the snot can be suctioned out and help him breathe better. He's able to be moved a little more now on this new ventilator, so he looks better since he's not in one place all the time. He's headed in the right direction, but he's still pretty sick, so PLEASE keep Joey in your prayers. Thanks.
