Overnight Ayden had some increased bleeding from the cannula site in his chest. To quote his nurse, it wasn't "enough to worry about," but it was "enough for [her] to tell the doctor." Other things that happened overnight? The PICC line in Ayden's leg finally stopped working after almost 5 weeks, so they had to get a new line in him, which they did. They also tried to wean Ayden off the ECMO a little bit. According to the doctor, he responded well to this.
Right now, Dr. Bichell is in there with him. He is going to examine the cannula site because of the bleeding......
And now I'm not even going to bother to explain the things Dr. Bichell was thinking about doing, because we just got a call from Ayden's nurse. He's off ECMO. As I type this, he's been off ECMO for an hour. And he's apparently doing great.
Thank you, God.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Ayden go!
