This is for all of you Sehome Baseball players! I had Hatcher doing a little Sehome spell out...Give me a S-E-H-O-M-E, what's that spell, Sehome, who's gonna win, SEHOME! Keep believing guys and know that Hatcher is your #1 fan! 
Passing the time with dad shooting hoops! 
Now in isolation Hatcher has a new gun, syringes filled with water, he loves to shoot them! 
Dr. Wright has to be one of the best Dr's around, thanks for fighting for our little boy! We love and appreciate all you have done for our family! 
Hatcher flirting with the Stanford synchronised swimmers! 
Hatcher won pirate eye patches playing BINGO! 
So happy LPCH has so many fun distractions! 
10 am preschool, I love that all the kids are in their PJ's and so easy to please! 
Another echo!I think I spoke too soon! Last night Hatcher really struggled. He had a coughing spell that made his saturation levels drop. He was uncomfortable all night and had drs and nurses in his room most of the time. We are grateful they were so on top of things. My stomach sank when our nurse told us to prepare to move back down to CVICU! Randy came right over when I called to tell him what what was happening, and today we both were exhausted. He ended up on IICU status, which is intermediate, so that was a relief. He went through a bunch of test this morning with blood work, nose swab, new IV, and they sent off a sample that he coughed up. It seriously looked like a salamander, it was huge and nasty. There are a few possibilities of what it may be, one of which is very serious. I pray that he will not have another health issue to deal with, but we know it's out of our hands. He was put in isolation in case it is a viral infection (they don't think it is but wanted to be safe) which made for a long day with a 3 year old. He slept most of the morning and was so sweet this afternoon and evening. We played games, skyped sis, pops, grams, and they even held Brownie up to the screen so he could see his dog! We are disappointed but are trying to stay positive. He went from looking and acting like my Hatcher, to a very sick little boy again, and now tonight looking much better again! Here is to another bump in the road!
Darn it!!:( Poor little guy!! What a rough road he has had!! We continue to pray and think about you guys and put your names in the temple again last night!! Love you all!!
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know the whole Shippen fam is constantly asking Kenzi for Hatcher updates. he is so dang cute and obviously such a trooper! Keep it up Hatcher!! We r thinking about you! Sadie Shippen Schanz
ReplyDeleteYOU AMAZE ME - love the optimism! That is what will get you through! There will be a package in the mail for Hatcher today (and maybe a few fun items for the weary parents) - so hopefully you get it early next week. I love you guys - and just like any speed bump . . . slows you down for a little - and then you're on your way! We're praying Hatcher's little lungs are just getting their mojo back and this coughing means they're doing what they're supposed to! Keep on being that tough lil cowboy!
ReplyDeleteHello Randy, Britt and Hatcher ~ You are all so strong. It's very inspiring! I didn't like reading about Hatcher having a rough night. Poor little guy. I'm glad too you have all the great doctors and nurses by your side. I bet Hatcher was so happy to see Brownie and the family. Still praying and thinking about you all. Give little cowboy a big hug! Everyone is CHEERING you on!
