Day 4 at Children’s Hospital in DC

Gavin is now at Children’s Hospital in DC. He is in the PICU under critical care. He is heavily sedated to make sure that his breathing tube is still. The doctors have given him steroids to help decrease the swelling of tissue that is blocking his airway. Once the swelling has decreased, they will watch out for airway leakage which is a good sign. He is breathing on his own and with the ventilator just in case. So far he is doing well.

    Wondering how Gavin is doing and if there has been any improvement? You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I keep checking your blog daily for updates. I thought you might like to know that I was able to get my job back with the school district. The union and district made an agreement and a contract was made. Friday, June 30th I marched in and asked to rescind my retirement due to being laid off. They really had no choice but to put things right. I’m sure hoping to be Gavins nurse again!! l’m praying all is well with you. Chris
