Day 2 In The ICU

Braeden has been asleep most of the day, which has been helpful. When he’s awake he’s very aware of what’s going one and (roughly) where he is. His short term memory is a little fuzzy, so we’re repeating some things multiple times. He’s mostly his normal, pleasant self, and is ready to go home – most likely tomorrow.

We’ve been “discharged” from the pediatric ICU, though we haven’t had to change beds. We’re looking forward to being back home. Braeden is eager to get back to his normal life, though that will happen slower than he likes. Progress is being made. The staff at Swedish Edmonds and Harborview have been amazing.

Most importantly, we’ve felt upheld and deeply cared for by you, our community. We can’t thank you enough. All the prayers and well wishes are deeply felt. This ocean of love is amazing , and truly humbling. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you!
