"Thaw" Update

At 1:30 AM they changed the target body temp to 34.4 and now his body temp is at 35.7 which is higher than they want it to be. They wanted to keep him at 34.4 until 5:30 AM so the blanket turns really cold trying to bring his temp back down. Every time the blanket changes from one extreme to the other Ian wakes up and shivers. His eyes open, he is moving his arms and legs but it is not really controlled. I stand by him, hold his hand and try to calm him down until they can give him more meds and put him back to sleep. It is a roller coaster! At 5:30 the temp target goes to 35.1 for the next 4 hours. We are halfway there. His heart beat has gone from 48 when we started to 67 although at time it has gone up to 88 when he shivers. When the blanket is warm his blood pressure goes down but he is holding his own and his heart is keeping up OK. We just had another shiver episode. Can't wait until this is over...please keep praying for my sweet boy!

    Good Morning Puran,
    Carly made a card for you. She said that since your the mommy you have to tell Ian that he has to get better cuz she still wants to marry him. She wants you to give him a hug for her.
