Morning Update

We went to visit Elias this morning. His nurse, Trish told us that he had a very dramatic morning before we got there. They attempted to take him off the ventilator and apparently his heartbeat drop very quick. They quickly bagged and reintubated him. He stabilized fairly quickly once the breathing tube was in. The cause for this is still slightly uncertain, but x-rays showed his lung had collapsed potentially due to a mucus plug. They are running some more test to try and figure out what caused the distress off the breathing machine.

We had a very special moment as well this morning. Elias woke up and was very alert for the first time!! It was amazing to finally be able to look into his eyes and have him interact with us. Above, is a few moments we were able to capture on video. It was such a beautiful moment, he has his mom's pretty eyes, don't you think?

We are going back to see him tonight. We will update if there are any changes.
