Ian is starting to look so much better. He's down to 4lb 14oz today. He still has swelling, but it's continually diminishing. Tonight they changed his ventilator setting to a diff rhythm. He was overbreathing the machine and so with this new setting, he can do much more of it at his own pace. He's still holding his own and doing well. He's on Fentanyl for pain, Synthroid for hypothyroidism, TPN & Lipids for nutrition, Occasional Potassium for hypokalemia, 3 antibiotics, and other routine iv fluids.
He had some poop from his jejunostomy today and drainage from his mucosal fistula, as well as a poopy diaper. These are great things... Maybe everything is going to start clearing out so his lil intestines can begin to heal and move the blockages on through.
He was in a bad mood part of the day yesterday and kept throwing a tantrum. At first it was because he needed suctioned. Then he kept getting mad, so i put my hand on his feet and his head and hummed a song to him and he calmed down. UNTILLLLL the u/s tech came in to do the head ultrasound and he was NOT happy about that lol. I'll add a cute pic of him mad and screaming lol. Can't wait to hear the screams out loud :)

You are right - a little brain bleed is small price to pay for having this precious boy here. You made the right call, Christy!
