As of a few hours ago, Hayes, Sarah & Hayden have all arrived at Stanford's Lucille Packards Children Hospital in Palo Alto. Hayes immediately began to go thru a lot of testing. Much of the same testing he had last night. Hayden & Sarah met with the Nurses & Nurse Practitioners right off the bat. The nurses informed them that they are keeping him sedated not necessarily because they have to but because it makes it easier for them because Hayes is an active little guy & so Hayes doesn't have to breath so frantically. They also informed Sarah & Hayden that they have put Hayes on Adavan.
A slight change from last night...
We found out that the Femoral Artery that they got the IV in last night is only a short term fix. It's not good for the long term. So, they are back to square one and are poking and prodding at Hayes in hopes to find a vein to put an Pick Line in (which serves as a more permanent IV). They were hoping to get it in the brecial vein (sp?, the vein on the inside of the arm). At this point, Hayes is getting some nutrients through the IV but once they get a Pick Line in they will begin to give Hayes a heavier dose of vitamins & minerals.
As for now, we are just waiting for all the tests results to come in. Once they have collaborative results, the Dr.'s will get together to decide when to do the surgery.
According to the nurse at Stanford, Hayes is very, very stable. On a level from 1 to 10 the nurse says a 6 or 7.
As for Hayden & Sarah, they met with a Social Worker who helped them get a room for the next 3 nights at the hospital. They have put their name on a list for the Ronald McDonald House for the nights following and are hopeful they will get a room their for the remainder of their stay at Stanford.
Rumor has it, they could be looking at surgery as early as tomorrow. More to come...
Please keep praying for our dearest little Hayes!
