It seems like forever that Jacob has been in the PCICU. It has only been about a month and a half or so. More of the same good news-bad news I'm afraid. The good:
We brought Jacob's big brother to the hospital to see him; John Paul was ecstatic. JP only wanted to give Jacob as many stuffed animals he could find. Even though he rarely sees Jacob, he adores him. JP is a great big brother to both of his siblings. John Paul's art work is all over Jacob's room. It adds a very nice touch to the sterile room. Also, Jacob has not had a fever in four days. If all goes well, his stent procedure will probably be on Thursday. He has also been equated and is breathing only with the assistance of the CPAP.
The bad:
The nurse side that his blood pressure keeps dipping dangerously low from time to tome and he will have to be put back on milrinone. Milrinone is a medicine given to heart patients when the heart is failing. It gives the heart a boost. Unfortunately, you can't stay on it forever. My fear is that even with the stent his heart may not be strong enough to keep him alive.
He is resting comfortably now and I though it would be a good time for a picture.
