It’s 10:30 pm and I just wanted to post a quick Gideon update.
This afternoon Kevin had an idea. He asked the nurse if they could move Gideon’s IV from his hand to his foot. Although we hated for him to get another stick, it’s proved (so far) to be totally worth it!! Gideon doesn’t seem near as agitated this evening. He tolerated sitting in his chair much better. Plus now he can use both hands to stick his vibrating tooth brush in both ears. I know it sounds silly, but that’s a big deal for our boy. Not to mention, he can play with his toys better! Especially the vibrating ball that bounces vigorously. It’s definitely a two-hander.
Also, he finished up a 4 oz packet of food and he took 3 oz of pediasure! That puts his total fluid intake (by mouth) at 12 oz for today; which not enough to remove the IV, but we are closer now than we were this morning.
I’m so glad they moved the IV. Not only does Gideon like to switch hands when taking his bottle, but he puts both fists in his eyes when he lays on his tummy.
Thanks for your cotinued prayers. I believe with all my heart they do make a difference!! Now we are praying that he sleeps well tonight…all night. 😉
I’ll do another Gideon update tomorrow.
Stay tuned..
Yes. Praying for dear Gideon and for you all.
With love, from Canada.
Thank you Susan!! 💜💜💜

Thank you so much for sharing the good news. Of course I will continue to pray. God is good!
Thank you!!! 💜
praying for you and your sweet warrior ! Parents know their child and so awesome when dr/nurses listen. Landon had RSV when he was 15 months and they had him in a hospital crib and his heartbeat was high and his irritation was so bad. I asked them if they could get rid of the crib and give him a regular hospital bed and they said yes but once they took the crib out it couldn’t be brought back in (who knows that reasoning ) so they brought the bed in, I got in the bed with him, he snuggled close and was out. His heartbeat slowed and he slept the whole night, oxygen level was still low but that was managable. Parents and staff working together for the sake of the child is awesome !! praying for your son to eat/drink and get to come home very very soon !!!
Yes! I agree totally!! So grateful when they’re willing to work with us!! 💜💜
Continued prayers for your sweet boy and family!
Thank you!! 💜💜
That is somewhat good news, so glad he got some nourishment, hope and pray it continues for a speedy recovery XOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Thanks!! 💜
