Admitted to 6 Long.

Today was Brayton's 2nd dilation since the last post. It didn't go as planned. This boy likes to surprise us. At his dilation before today's, they told us we could start coming bi-weekly! The last dilation went very smoothly, and despite the fact he hadn't had one in 2 weeks, he was easy to dilate, and it hadn't shrunk down. Progress. We were thrilled.

Today on the other hand, they told us it was difficult to dilate, and had constricted down a good amount. Afterwards, he could not maintain his oxygen, and after the xray, they determined that it looked like they had collapsed one of his lungs. The ventilator had only been supplying to one lung, instead of both, causing the other to slowly collapse. He was admitted today to the Pediatric Floor. I am so sad I can't be there with him, to hold him, and make sure he's okay. Daddy is there with him though so he's in good hands. I just pray that he gets better quickly.One more hurdle my boy will overcome though, just one more hurdle. He's tough, he'll do it.
