😂He Listened!!!!!!😂 11/27 2:30 pm

Ethan's nurse walked into the room while I waited for the verdict. It seemed like it took forever for her to reach me.  Why isn't she talking?  "How is he?" I asked. She sat with me and said "I want to warn you that if you cry, I am going to cry too". Oh shit. Is it worse than worst case scenario?  How? She continues with "They found a mucus plug in Ethan's lung. They were able to suck it out and inflate his lungs.  He is doing really well.  They took him off of ECMO and they are closing his chest." So the two of us sat there and cried. It was the most beautiful cry I have ever shared with anyone. Wow. Finally a break for this kid. This is what he wanted. . 

Ethan had two nurses today.  One was experienced, the other, it was his first day in cardiac ICU. He has worked on the general floor for an extended period of time, but today is starting to train for cardiac ICU.

This poor man is getting hazed today. H

I walked down the road and found a teeny tiny dollar store that sold Christmas lights. Stores in NYC are so cramped.  If there was ever a fire, everyone would die. My butt is almost too wide to fit down the isle.  If there are two people in an aisle at the same time, they need to walk sideways and hope they don't get pregnant in the meantime. I know Ethan will appreciate the Christmas lights when he wakes up.  He likes the glow of lights in the evening hours as the only source of light, this time of year.

I also suggested the paralytic drug again.  Please don't let this kid go through the break throughs of sedation.  Knock him out so he doesn't do more damage to himself. They said they would like to use them to really rest his heart. 

Wow! He listened to him Mom. He behaved. Good job Ethan! That is why you should always listen to your Mom. 💗💗💗
