Pink Fingers and Toes



Parker looks pink!!! With his new heart his blood has such better cirrculation. He has very warm feet and hands, which before they were always cold and a little blueish. His face and lips were always a little dusky and now they are beautifully normal and pink. Parkers oxygen is great it sits between 98% to 100% when he is calm. It's so interesting to see the nurses worry about him when he "destats" to 85% if he's upset where as he would never be that high before. They wouldn't care because his body was used to being that low. It's great to see his stats so high!! The transplant team told us that everything was going to take a lot longer to happen with this surgery than with every other one that he's had, because of all the antiregection meds that they have to give him, his immunesystem is very comprimised. But we were able to Extibate him yesterday(pull out his breathing tube)he did really well and was breathing on his own very quickly. He didn't sleep very good last night but I think that he was hungery. I was able to let him drink some water this morning and I'm just waiting for some milk to come up from the kitchen. He also is taking his Meds through his mouth like a champ. The nurses tried to give him some but he's very stubborn about who feeds him. He's kind of partial to ME!!!!



This is Parks monitor, doesn't it look pretty!!:)

    Hey Jess,
    That's great that he's doing so well. He is such a cute little guy. Those Seely boys are sure tough. I always laugh when I think about Brock putting his tooth through his lip and was covered in blood, but only wanted a piece of cheese. You have really caught on to all the medical jargon...I bet you know as much as Jim. We're struggling to just pronounce the words. Thanks for taking the time to update your blog. Now I don't have to grill Mike...he's not the most reliable source. Hopefully we'll see you soon. Love you lots. Linds
