Bumpy Day

Braden is having a bumpy day today. His blood pressure dipped far too low and he had to be placed on medication to regulate it. They had to place another IV in him, but his arms and feet already have things connected to them. So they have placed an IV on his head. I'll admit that it's hard to see him with that in his head, but it is for the best. The doctors will performs a series of tests on Braden's heart to determine why his blood pressure has dipped. We are praying that his little heart is just fine and is not the main cause of this problem. Braden is our little fighter and we know that God will help him get through this bumpy day. We ask that you keep praying for our sweet boy.

We do have some good news. Braden's bowels and intestines are continuing to respond to the formula. As long as he can feed through the tube in his mouth and have bowel movements with no medication, he'll continue to gain weight. Braden slept really well last night and does not seem to be in any discomfort whatsoever.

Thanks for stopping by to check on him. I'll post updates asap.
