Ron continues to do well off the ventilator. Dr. Smith made rounds this morning and was pleased to see how well he was doing.. She discussed with Ron the week's events as well. Advised him where his heart function was with his last echo. Another echo was done today. I don't know yet if she will review it tonight and let us know results...or wait until tomorrow.
She did give us positive news in regards to the type of rejection Ron had. There is a good chance that his heart function could fully recover ...as they have had good results with treatment when it comes to antibody rejection.
Thomas was able to see his daddy today and was very pleased to do so. He told his daddy he loved him and asked him if he was ok. Ron was happy to see him too...and assured him he was fine. Thomas told him to get well soon. He went back to Goodyear today with his aunt and uncle and cousin. He will stay with them this week so that he can get back to his normal routine of daycare/preschool. He enjoys being with his friends and playing. So, it is better for him this way. I think it is harder on mom more than anything. Another day has just about passed and positive things continue to take place for Ron. We are moving in the right direction....
