Improvement!

I promise I'm not going to bore you with the details of every single day we lived through in the hospital a year ago. After tomorrow's anniversary, things slowed down some and I can give an overview of each week instead of each day....... Thank you for reading about our experience. My mom has called it my "blog therapy":)

This day a year ago was better than the days before. In the morning, the cardiologist told us that Peter's heart function was much improved. They discussed taking him off ECMO that day, but as the day wore on, decided to wait one more day. We had a TON of visitors this day, which brought a lot of encouragement to us.

Interestingly, several days later, the same charge nurse that told us Peter was gray the night his heart failed also told us that she couldn't believe they were discussing taking Peter off of ECMO so soon. She felt his numbers were still far too unstable to even consider it. However, about 3:00 a.m. on February 28, 2009, Peter's numbers suddenly stabilized and stayed that way. She said it came out of nowhere and there was no reason for it. Just more enlightenment about the miracle.
