Not so good
Well, after having some good days, Braden is not doing so well today. Turns out he had outgrown the small tubing in his throat and was not breathing well. They replaced it to a larger size, which had to be painful. He was in quite a bit of discomfort so they had to sedate him and actually strap him down since he was so restless. We are hoping the tubes help his breathing. He has required anywhere from 30-90% oxygen today. The doctor took x-rays and determined his left lung is slightly collapsed and he may have a possible infection. They have been giving him breathing treatments all day, so now all we do is wait...again. It's been a stressful day for us, but even more so for Braden. I just personally felt if we are going to write about the good, we should also write about the bad. We will call the nurses tonight and get a check up. When Annie left today after 3pm, he had finally began to rest. Hopefully it will work itself out and we will have better news tomorrow...So thats that. Steve & Annie

Thank you for sharing Braden's ups and downs. We are praying for him.
Love,
the Kedroski family
My thoughts and prayers are filled with Braden. Our day to day struggles are so small compared to his fight to move forward and survive. Blessed is he that helps with Braden's plight - - the doctors, nurses, family, friends that join with God in looking out for this precious little one. We love you sweetheart and wish that we could do something more to help.
Love,
Gramy
