Ashton Update


Today is day number 6 at the good old Primary Children's Medical Center. They are still having to do deep suctioning, albuterol treatments, and oxygen. He's gotten his spunk back during the days and loves to play with the nurses. They brought all sorts of fun toys in for him. The struggle comes at night when he just won't breathe deeply enough and his oxygen levels plummet. They said we might get to go home tomorrow if they can convince Ashton to start drinking more, but at the moment he just thinks drinking is silly and doesn't want to play that game. They took his IV out so he's off his fluids. Their philosophy is that now he'll be thirsty and need to drink... we'll see how that goes. Thank you to EVERYONE!! I have the greatest network of friends and family members, we are truly blessed to have so many people that love and care for us.
