Life with Switch: finally, a plan

He looks suprised! MiMi forgot to turn off the flash :)

We finally have a competent nurse! He was very helpful and actually gave me a "plan" that they are working on. I finally feel like they aren't running an experiment on my child. He said that Chase's heart rate has been more regular with the medicine that he is on now. They are going to continue to monitor his heart rate and make sure that the medicine is going to continue to work. Unfortunately, if the meds don't work then Switch will have to see an Electrophysiologist (one who studies the electricity of the heart) to find out why the beats are off. The nurse assured me that his Electrocardiograms are looking good and that's why there is a confusion. Usually, with arrhythmia, something negative will show on the ECG, but with Switch, this is not the case. So as long as the ECG's look good and the meds are working then he won't have to see the Electrophysiologist for any test. He even said that x-ray of his lung is looking less cloudy..meaning some of the fluid is coming off his lungs. He is requiring less oxygen and the nurse even said that he maybe able to go down on the amount in the morning. Things sound good, but they also sounded good before the fluid on the lungs and the arrhythmia situations. Keep praying for my little man. He's so very strong and everyone just loves him bits!! I think he's the favorite of the ICU because I got a lot of compliments on him today :) Or maybe it's because I'm his mom and I think he's the most amazing thing ever! I held him for about 2 hours tonight, but it only felt like five minutes. I could have slept in that chair with him all night!!
