Not time yet...

Tonight Will and I left to go have dinner, when we returned, the night attending told us that lil Will had dropped his oxygen sats 3 times to low 80's, high 70's, while we were gone. Normal sats for lil WIll are between 90-100. Due to this, the decision was made to send him back to PICU because the renal doctors do not feel comfortable caring for patients with respiratory issues. They do kidneys, that is the extent of it. Ironically, or shall I say, more accurately, the Holy Spirit shared with Will and myself at dinner that maybe they moved lil Will too soon from the PICU to the floor. We both agreed it was too soon since Saturday was the first time he had breathed on his on since birth. That would have to be a big adjustment for anyone, especially a baby. Well, the Holy Spirit was preparing us for what we would encounter when we returned to Lil Will's room from dinner. God is awesome in that He always prepares you for what's to come, but you must be ready to receive what He has for you, good or bad, stormy or peaceful. You have to be ready in and out of season.

While we were waiting to transport him from the 5th floor back to PICU, he was breathing rapidly, his oxygen sats were dropping and he just looked uncomfortable. When he arrived back to the PICU, all those things subsided and he got better pretty quickly. .Of course, it so happened his favorite nurse, Dawn was working so she came by and helped get him settled.

We are fine, we know that all things work together. He is in grest hands, first and foremost, those of the master and that of the nurses and docs on PICU.

God Bless each of you!
