Ethan was much more comfortable today, thankfully. He was able to sleep a lot. Later this afternoon, he was very alert and awake and acting a little more like himself as his temper came through a few times. He was talking a little and smiled just once. Just a little bit ago, he signed "please" and turned and pointed to the door. If that just doesn't make your heart break! He wants to leave. His labs at 4pm showed that his sodium level was up to 129, which is good. They just drew more labs (8:30pm), so hopefully they will be up even more.
We are hoping for a better night tonight. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement. God is bringing us through hour by hour.
P.S. There were only 3 heart surgeries today because of cancellations and not enough beds since the PICU is so full. We are so thankful we live near such a great hospital who can help Ethan and other kids with CHDs.
