I was hopeful we'd be moving on up to the 15th floor this afternoon, but alas, there was no room available. So, we are in the PICU again tonight. Pro-- Good, attentive staff providing the care Matthew needs. Con-- Very uncomfortable chair in which I attempt to sleep and listen to the 25th-36th hour of the Backyardigan's dvd Matthew's roommate has on. Oh well.
The critical care docs are a bit concerned about Mattie's high blood pressure/low heart rate. We were hoping that being on the cardiac floor would be a good thing, closer to the doctors in the most know about Matthew's particular issues. Given that we aren't going, they decided to have the cardiologists monitor Matthew's vitals via the 'EKG Lab' (where a group of cardiologists sit reviewing the monitors of 'heart babies'). Knowing that Matthew's case is getting special review gives us comfort.
Matthew has been sleeping/fussing off and on today. When he fusses, it's more of a whine with his bottom lip stuck out. Sad and cute at the same time. I can't wait till he feels better and shoots me the sweet, ear to ear Matthew grin. I miss it.
