Some good news and some not so good news. Ben's hr looked awesome all night and today. 140-160. So that was great news. The nurse said his hr was probably elevated yesterday due to belly pain. He passed a lot of gas and pooped yesterday. So, since he's not in as much pain, his hr came down. They also upped his sedation a tad. So that's helping things too. The not as great news, he's not tolerating feeds. His belly is not digesting it. So, they are stopping feeds for now so his belly can get a rest. After a couple days of rest they'll try again. They don't want him to have pain and his hr to get elevated again. In other news, Cardinal Francis George was here today and blessed him. I've read that every transplant patient that gets blessed by Cardinal George, receives their organ within 24 hrs. So we are crossing fingers that happens here too!
