Well today they extubated Colin and he was doing well. They also pulled his left chest tube out. He was doing well, until they noticed that his left lung looked cloudy and they were affraid that it would collapse, so they put him back on a CPAP machine. He is doing really well however and looks great. Dr. Bacha and Dr. Freed both were very happy with his progress. Lets just hope he doesn't get a flat in the left lung. Of course, since Colin was doing so well, Nanna stayed with him so Melanie and I could go take a tour of Fenway Park, however we got the news that the left lung looked cloudy 5 minutes before the tour started, so we got in a cab and went back. Maybe tomorrow...... 
Keep on fighting buddy. Your cookies are on the way, get better so you can have them. We all look forward to seeing you next weekend.
ReplyDeletePS- Anyone can do it once Aunt B!!!!
Colin looks great and hope he continues with gusto. We are still sending all the love and prayers his way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet baby.

ReplyDeleteI hope he gets off cpap soon.
We'll keep checking on you guys..
(and his eyes look good..no big pupils--I was always anxious about the pupils with the withdrawl).
Sweet dreams to you all.
He's looking so good! What a little trooper. We'll pray for continued healing for Colin and for good recovery. I hope you guys can get out and enjoy the town for a bit!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that the CPAP machine gives Colin a little extra boost for his lung and that they can take it off him soon. He really looks good. As precious as always! Love, Auntie Susie
ReplyDeleteoh that picture is just so precious! ...he looks like he's just chillin and taking it day by day :)
ReplyDeleteit will be nice to give his little body a break. it's crazy what these heart kids go through - it's pretty unexplainable and gives us parents a much different perspective on life. thank goodness for these talented doctors and the miracles they make happen everyday!
look out for the kisses - we blew them your way! the manning family
