Not much had changed when we went back this evening. Evan was still sedated from receiving his PICC line. The PICC line is in his left arm. It shouldn't restrict his movements at all. We still have our little wiggle worm. :)
He is propped up on his right side as his lung is collapsing a little bit. This is completely normal. By propping him it will force air into the lung to reinflate it.
He is aspirating a little. This means he's not fully digesting all of his 2 mL of milk. They can tell this as they always "draw back" (pull out/suction) before giving him a feeding. Again, the nurse didn't seem too concerned. His belly is soft (not distended) so he is digesting most of it.
Evan officially has a primary night nurse! This means that she will always be assigned Evan when she's working. She's no-nonsense and very focused on him.
We'll hope he has a boring night.
Again, we cannot thank you enough for you thoughtfulness and prayers. Without your support we would be so alone.
