Still in the PICU

Titus had an "ok" night - not bad, but not great. He woke up crying every hour. They are still concerned with his breathing. He is still not expelling adequate CO2. This is due to the bronchial clamp he has done in the past when his body is stressed with anesthesia/surgery. So, they are keeping him in the PICU again today, watching him closely, and changing some of his meds to his if his bronchial muscles will relax. The pulmonologist came by this morning and is also keeping a close eye on him. The surgeon also came by this morning to check out his mouth and so far, the surgery site itself looks ok.

So, as has happened in the past, it's his breathing that's the cause for concern. As it stands right now, they will be in the PICU today and re-evaluate tomorrow if they can move to the regular pediatric ward.

We would appreciate your prayers for healing and relaxation for Titus. And for strength/rest for Becky as she is staying with him 24/7.
