We've received a small hand-slap from the physicians in the STICU. They prefer to limit the # of visitors at any given time to 2, along with a bunch of other rules that we'll spare you the details of. We want to do everything we can to comply and keep the staff happy, after all they're taking care of Christian in the most professional manner possible! So, we'd like to suggest that any visitors who come by to say hello, please check-in with the family in the waiting room before going back to see Christian. This way we can make sure we're abiding by the rules. There will always be some family in the waiting room who will know if visitors can go back in to see Christian. Usually there are 2 people in with Chris at any given time so we have to wait for 1 to come out before another can go in. Thank you all so much for your love, support and helping us stay out of trouble :-)!
They found a blood clot in each leg today. These are found by doing an ultrasound. They thought Christian may have been pregnant, but found clots instead, go figure! They've given him some blood thinning medication to prevent further clots and that will help him reabsorb the current clots. If for some reason the clots move from his legs, they cannot get to his heart due to the filter they placed a couple of days ago.
Wow! One miracle after another. In such a short time Christian has made so much progress. We want you all to know that we are reading this blog continually and will rejoice with every improvement regardless of how small it may be. Love, Craig and Linda Hendry
