It took them a couple hours to get the PICC line in, but they did get one in. We had to leave the room while they were doing the new line so we didn't get to see him for a couple hours. When we came back in the room Michael had his little face mask on and was looking around like there was nothing wrong. He looks great, his color is back and he is squeaking away. What a relief it is to see him with eyes open kooing again. He looks a little crazy, but that is not bothering us one bit. You can tell he is very comfortable and happy to be breathing again. He is annoyed by his arms being wrapped up but when he is able to get them out he starts pulling on stuff. I think if they allowed him to have a free left arm he would be much happier. Our nurse said the more pissed off he is about having that thing the better. Everyone continues to say how impressed they are by him. They usually do the PICC lines while the children are sedated but since he is in a fragile state they had to keep him awake. The nurse said he didn't make a peep, she was giving him sugar water to keep him happy. She said he did amazing.
We also had a nice long chat with our doctor, she said he looks amazing compared to this morning. She also warned us that with his specific condition we are walking a long road. There will be a lot of balancing and keeping a close eye on everything. Even though he is a little trooper, he is still on that fragile teeter totter. We have to make sure he has a good diet and nothing we do tips the scales. We both feel very comfortable again and are probably going to try and start sleeping at home with Zoey. We love our little soldier, he is an unbelievable little person. Thank you for all the prayers! We are making progress, he is still in that critically stable condition but he looks awesome and appears to be doing great since taking him off the sotalol.
