Thank you Lord!!!!

Saturday Update from Dad:

Is a filter or caption even needed for this?! Looks who’s feeling so much better! He may get to come out of ICU next week sometime! For now they are gonna weane him off of medicines and try to get chest tubes out, he will have a “swallow study” Monday to make sure his vocal cords are working properly and making sure fluid isn’t going into his lungs, then he’ll be released to eat and drink! This baby boy asks all day for that!

Yes sir, Thank you Lord for holding Hudson in your hands and delivering him to a desired results. And Dogfan I can understand it for you. All e way.

From Dad tonight:

Late night post
I’ll keep it short! Hudson overall had an awesome day! He was very fatigued from the fight yesterday bleeding over today on his energy levels. He is completely off Esmolol and on to Propranolol, currently still trying to weane him off of the Milrinone. He had another bath today, and is fast asleep!
Will update in the morning! Seems like we are over the bad hump! Praying we get out of ICU early next week but they said possibly middle to end of next week before we can move upstairs to recovery. Look at those numbers!

Hudson had a big big night and so has daddy
He got some gifts from “Jex” and the boys, so i read him one of the book, Goodnight Construction Site, tomorrow I’ll open the toys for him and read him some more of the books
In addition he also got a full bath, bedding change, all his blankets and clothes washed as well as all my dirty clothes from the last few days, so we can keep any sickness away
He should get to leave ICU this week sometime, and we appreciate very much the prayers and continuous prayers that he keeps winning this battle!!! Living with half of a heart is no easy task, single ventricle warrior, but baby boy Your Fight is My Fight!





Finally sitting in a chair!



Dad's living arrangement at the hospital for the last week

Very happy to see Hudson doing a little better. Back in the mid 70's we spent a week at Childrens Medical Center in Dallas with our youngest son. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It was very serious, but I don't think it was as serious as what Hudson is fighting. Our son is now 48 years old and still going. Don't ever give up on the people at Childrens Medical Center. They can't cure everything but they are good and probably the best in the nation. Also God's care helps. I was just wondering what part of the state you are from Dogfan? I am still praying for Hudson.
