Good Morning.
Tanner has been resting in his moms arms tonight. He has had better diapers, not red today. We are praying and hoping that he is on his way to feeling better. Now we just have to get that Prograf level under control, then we will be heading up to ICS. We were supposed to go today, but it was too high. One of the Nurse Practitioners poked their head in and told the Nurse to take him off the prograf "NOW".
The first level in the morning was 30. They thought it was contaminated so they repeated it and it went to 37.
The oral medication is supposed to be easier to dose and maintain, but Tanner is still vomitting. Only a bump in the road....we need to get Tanner to have an appetite and eat! I know he will not have this problem as a teenager. I remember eating almost a whole pan of Chicken Broccoli cassrole for dinner at times.
They didn't assign us a sleep room tonight. I guess that means we aren't as critical as some of the other patients. They did get us a room that is up on the 4th floor that is for the NICU parents. It seems to far even though we are so close to Tanner. I feel like just sleeping in the corner standing up.
I found a web site tonight that really touched me and would like to share it with you.

Any good news is mighty welcome. You can probably only reasonably expect very small steps.
Encouraged by something listener said to me the other day, I decided just now to say a Rosary for Tanner. The moment I crossed myself to begin, a most extraordinary thing happened. I felt as though I had plugged into a network or circuit with all the energy, including mine, flowing toward Tanner. I've never experienced anything quite llike it. It left me somewhat in awe. A whole lot of love and good vibes are being directed to that little fellow.
Hope he can sleep tonight.

Oh what a precious picture!! He looks happy, despite what he has been through.
Continued prayers for this beautiful child of God
What a guy! :-)
