Today has been an exceptional day! It started off slow with some worry but after his morning nap Nathan woke up a different person.
When Nathan woke up this afternoon I asked how his nap was, his response "it was WONDERFUL" (his emphasis). Since then the Nathan that we all know and love was back.
After a little coxing to eat he finished half a bowl of cereal. We then removed the rest of his IVs and the arterial line so he was free to move around. He still has his pacer wires and his heart monitor on but that is not as limited.
Then was the HUGE turning point, Nathan got out of bed and took a walk! Praise God! Immediately his heart rate went from 65 to 70 and has stayed put.
Nathan has since eaten a couple bites of PB&J, hopped off the end of the bed to show off his new ability of getting up to Pastor Bob and Ms. Esther, and went for another walk around the floor later with Mommy and Grammy.
If only the heart block would correct and the rate would continue to increase we would be set! God is still at work and already you can see the healing that He has provided!
So for tonight the surgeon wants to be extra careful and is keeping Nathan in the ICU for a little while longer. They are hoping that tomorrow may be the day that he moves to a more permanent room out of ICU. My feeling is that surgeon is going to definitely put in the pacemaker if Nathan's heart doesn't correct itself by the end
of the day tomorrow. Let us come together and pray HARD that this little boys heart will correct itself tonight!
