We are definately not totally out of the woods but Colton's siezures are under control with meds. He is sedated and also under pain meds (for the oscillating vent). So he looks peaceful and relaxed now which gives us much comfort knowing that he is comfortable now.
The day is going uneventfully (thank goodness) for now and we are all just waiting for some pee pee to come out of that catheter tube. Maybe everyone can do the pee pee dance on Colton's behalf? :) We are still considered to be in a critical stage and I know we keep talking about it, but everything really is hinging on him starting to make urine.
On another note we are also waiting for some cultures to come back. A recent discovery on a test makes the doctors now think that he might have an infection in his PIC line (the line that all the IV's hook into) which would finally give us an explanation for the ongoing renal issues. It doesn't help us where we are now but having an answer as to why somehow makes us feel better. If the new cultures come back positive then they will take out the PIC line and replace it with a new one.
Donny and I also want to take a moment and thank everyone for the prayers and concern. We never knew how lucky, blessed and loved we were. It truly uplifts us and makes a hard situation bearable. We love you all and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
