Update on Christopher.
Pretty much right now in my life...this is all that is worth talking about.
I have been in constant reading on Christopher's care page that has been set up online to get updates and I think I check it more than anything.
First, my cousin is still in the hospital. Her blood pressure is still too high for her to be released, but we are hoping she will not be there too much longer. While she is there, it is a great blessing for her to get to be so close to Christopher, and she actually got to change his little diaper yesterday. But, my thoughts keep gravitating toward her in this hard time---as she wants to return homw to her two other children, but is not yet healthy enough.
Christopher is still staying strong. They have to limit his movement, so he doesn't lose too many calories, but from what I understand--he is a little sqwirmer. Our concerns right now are with his brain and his heart. So far, there has been no bleeding in his brain, but he is going to go in for another brain ultrasound today to make sure that remains the same. There is a valve in his heart that needs to close, and they are working on getting that achieved with IBprofen treatments. If that doesn't work, surgery is always an option, but obviously not the most favored one. Good news--they were able to let off a little bit on the support given to him through the ventilator, because he is becoming a strgoner breather.
It is hard to be so far away with all of this going on and the stress that is the end of a semester, on top of that. I cannot wait for the semester to be over and to hear more good news from Georgia.
Please, keep praying for the Watson family and sweet little Christopher.
