First of all I'd like to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful mom! She received the most precious gift last year when Levi opened his eyes for the first time after being brought out of a coma. It's amazing to think that it's been a year. So much has happened in that short (although sometimes it felt so long!) time. Here is an excerpt from the blog on that day, and the picture of his gorgeous brown eyes.
He's Awake!!!
Well, not that we have seen it, lol, but our wonderful nurse Marie told us that during his bath last night Levi was finally able to heft up his puffy little eyelids. He's retaining so much water he's earned the nicknames of Stay Puff Boy and Michelin Man. He's been on a diuretic and is finally starting to lose some of his puffiness. Most or all of the antibiotics and seizure meds have been changed from IV to oral, which means we have gone from a huge tree of medicine pumps down to one or two leaves. We are hoping that his breathing tube and arterial line come out very soon (like today!) so that we can hold him and snuggle him again. Thanks to all for your past and continued prayer!
