Hopefully Tomorrow...AGAIN



Still in ICU!! No word on when we might get moved to our own room. It is quite frustrating at this point. It might not be so bad if they would stop telling us that it is "hopefully tomorrow". I am not getting my hopes up anymore. I know he needs to be where he can be monitored as closely as possible, but I really really want to stay at the hospital with him. It would also be nice if her were out of ICU before his Dad has to leave to go back to LA.

We visited with him for a little bit today and he is as cute as he ever was :) He looks as though he may have a rash and, of course, Mom and Dad freak and think that he may be allergic to something. The nurse said it may be the detergent that the laundry company uses to was the baby blankets. The nurse also told us that his heart rate got a little high today and they are giving him medicine to keep it regular and bring it down. I asked if it could arrhythmia, but she said she wasn't sure. I am worried that they may be "masking" a potential problem, BUT I am not a doctor. I am a concerned Mom and I want to know why, how, when, and everything else they can tell me!!
Keep praying for our sweet little man. He is stronger than Mom or Dad at this point! We know when all this is over we will laugh at how stressed out we once were. Switch will be getting away with everything before we know it!! Keep the prayers coming for him. We love you all.

Happily,
Shelley and Blake
BTW..... He is doing amazing with the pacifier. His little muscles get tired after a while, but he has taken to it. One step closer to ditching the feeding tube :)

  2. He looks like a big boy with that paci in his mouth!! You might ask Lindsay about things that you could ask the drs, she's been through all this before and may have a few pointers. :) Love you all! Give Chase big kisses for us (Sam says he is the cutest baby she has ever seen!)
