Wednesday

It's great that Mom is trying out the blogger for the first time. Last night she sent everyone home and she slept over with Judah. She says she had a good sleep and that Judah did too. His respiratory therapist (RT) told my mom that Judah was breathing more on his own than before and she took that as a very strong sign of recovery. Dr. Forman, however, saw some different signs that seem to balance out Judah's condition. There is an issue evolving about Judah's carbon dioxide output that we will continue to watch. Like many things here, one step forward is challenged by one step backward.
Judah's nurse just suctioned him and drew up a fair amount of fluid and blood, two things we are hoping to see less and less of. She told me that his hemoglobin is slightly better than yesterday, and his blood pressure is certainly much more normal. His fluid output is strong and he looks okay.
Mom took a series of photographs this morning:
