He is doing so awesome!! Hr is 120-130. He hasn't needed to be paced since early this morning. He has an internal pacer that goes off if his hr gets below 100. It will probably be taken out before he goes to the 5th floor. That won't be for another week or so though. They're weaning the vent too. He was at 36 bpm yesterday. He's at 34 today. And they'll start feeds in the next day or so. Which should go much easier with the new heart. He didn't tolerate it before because it put too much stress on his heart to coordinate beating and moving food through the stomach. Shouldn't be a problem this time. They're also weaning the dopamine. One of his heart drugs. Baby steps all around. He's getting there. He's slowly moving around too. They took the paralytic off around 8 am. So he's slowly coming out of it. The nurse just keeps telling me how awesome he is doing and what a little fighter he is. My little guy is going to do great things. I can feel it! Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!
