They were able to get Everett stable and we knew he was feeling better when he began to clap his feet (always a good sign for our little guy). The afternoon was rough as he just could not get comfortable and cried a lot. Greg and I took turns holding him throughout the day and truly I have to admit that I loved every moment of it. It's times like this when I truly wish he could just open his eyes and see that Mommy and Daddy are right there with him, but the immediate comfort in his body when we hold him lets us know that he is well aware of our presence.
Everett had a great night and according to his nurse rolled all over the place. He was quite a tangled mess this morning with his 6+ wires and 2 IV's. He's a trooper for sure. Fortunately one of his thumbs is available for sucking and that just brings him such comfort. We will likely be headed out of the ICU today and down to a regular peds room. So far all blood results are coming back good and his levels have stabilized. There was some concern yesterday of possible meningitis, but those results came back normal.
We are so thankful for all the prayers being lifted in Everett's name. We are still unsure of what cased him to wake up in the state he did yesterday, but we are grateful for the incredible turn around over the past 24 hours.
We will keep you posted and share some photos soon!
Love, The Stoner's
