One week

Happy 1 week birthday little man! It feels like a day or a year depending on the moment. It is also day 6 of ecmo and hopefully we can soon put that part behind us.

We were here in time to sit in on rounds this morning. Today is also the day the new attending takes over. From what everyone tells us he is the ecmo guru and he was also the one who was here thurs night to make the decision to put L on ecmo. His decision was to do another clamp trial shortly with more of a chance of coming off for good tomorrow. Our surgeon likes to keep the cannulas in his neck for surgery and the attending said there is only a 24 hr window they would want to do that. So sounds like things would move quickly once they make the decision. Pray our little man does great with this today.

We are watching the clamp trial as we type. It is like sitting front row for the most intense game of the year. Go L!!!
