Thank you so much for your support and comments. They have meant so much. And thank you for your continued prayers. His life is no longer in danger, but like I said he has some mountains to climb. I have really taken comfort in what my sweet sister told me yesterday. I need to let go of the perfect son I expected, and accept the perfect son I've been given. He has been given to me. His life was spared and I am so grateful for that. I am excited to move into this next stage of recovery. Today the goals are to remove the c spine restrictions and get him extubated and then I get to hold my baby!!!
