Naughty Ecom!

Yesterday started out a little rough when we learned that Hatcher's ecmo machine was not functioning properly. He had to be changed to a new one, but the transition seemed to go well and he continues to amaze us. For some reason yesterday I was really affected by his open chest. It just seems too much for such a little boy to have to endure. Our night nurse Roada gave him a little bath and washed his hair. In the morning he got a bear hug, which is an inflatable warming blanket and for the first time since surgery he wasn't freezin cold! We have meet so many families from all over the country that have come here to LPCH at Stanford. Our prayers and love go out to all of you who endure such overwhelming battles!
