What's Today?

I don't even know what day today is. So, I'll just give a "Today" update.

Bill left for work about thirty minutes ago. Sam had an ok night - no fever, which is fantastic. But, his alarms kept going off all night. His pulse ox sticker kept falling off his toe and he couldn't breathe through his nose.

Something happened to me - I guess the week caught up with me - because I fell asleep and couldn't wake up. The alarms kept bothering me, but my eyes were so heavy, I finally told Bill that I couldn't keep up with everything and collapsed on the couch. I would wake up groggy and couldn't keep my eyes open. Bill had to take over. At some point I heard a commotion and saw that they were vacuuming out Sam's nose. He wasn't very thrilled about it. At that point, I crawled into bed with him and we slept fitfully the rest of the night. I would put saline in his nose every hour or so and that seemed to do the trick. At 6:40am, I realized Bill hadn't gotten up yet and yelled his name about 40 times before he woke up. I guess we're exhausted.

I haven't seen the doctor yet, but I'm curious to ask him about all of the strange rhythms we've seen in the last two days. Sam's been skipping beats and his pacemaker has begun working a lot.

So, keep praying if you will. Pray for healing of his little body from this cold that he's got. Pray for his heart to beat as a normal heart would.

I'll know about the CT scan later today. Also, just to let you know, his nose swab came back positive for a cold (viral). But, the particular cold he has doesn't cause high fevers like he's been getting.
