As some of you know, Noah has had a really rough day today. His fever is still high and has been vomiting and dry heaving all day. He is getting IV fluids and nutrition to keep him hydrated but he is just miserable. His color is not looking so good either... he looks dusky and "veiny" and his nail beds are blue. His liver is down about 3 cm. They will be checking his liver enzymes in the morning and also doing viral swabs, which means he will be in isolation for at least 24 hours. His ICU doctor is going to be having a discussion with Noah's cardiologist about repairing his heart soon. He is starting to show signs of heart failure so they will be doing a heart failure test in the morning as well. Our poor baby is just SO tuckered out, he has absolutely no reserve left. I wish I could just take it all away! His chest x-rays show his lungs look almost whited out with junk. When they suction him, most of the time they suction for a good half hour and get a LOT of thick mucus and he STILL has a lot more. They just can not get it all out.
Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and surgeonns and cardiologists tomorrow. Pray that God comforts Noah tonight so he will get the rest he needs to start feeling better. Pray for Aaron and I as this week will be a lot of descission making, I am sure! Thank you.

Oh... BTW.... Noah got his FIRST TOOTH yesterday!!! And tomorrow (2-22-10) is his 8 month birthday!!!!
