A Needed Visit and a Steady Day for

Overall, Jude had a fairly decent day. The morning was very busy, filled with tests — an EEG, an ultrasound, and an X-ray. His left lung is still sounding quite diminished, but we are working diligently with his respiratory treatments to help improve things.

Late last night, we noticed that Jude’s right leg and foot were becoming noticeably more swollen than his left. An ultrasound was done to rule out a blood clot, and the IV in that foot was removed as a precaution. While we still don’t have a clear answer as to why the swelling occurred, it does seem to have gone down somewhat tonight, which is encouraging.
Because of Jude’s seizure yesterday, the medical team repeated his EEG. We are also working very closely with the neurology team to establish a new emergency seizure plan — both for his time here in the hospital and eventually for when he returns home.
At this point, we are not working on weaning any of Jude’s respiratory support or medications. We know he needs a little more time for rest and healing, and we are trusting that we’ll move forward when his body is truly ready.
Thank you all for continuing to stand with us in prayer. Your love, encouragement, and support mean more than we can express. ♥️
Goodnight, friends.
