Gideon day 53
20.45u
Marieke and I slept wonderfully last night. There is no place like home. (But home is where the heart is and it is in Nijmegen... Hmm...) This morning I woke up with sore muscles because I had slept really relaxed since a long time. So a good sign in itself. But we really had a good rest.
Gideon had a bad night last night. Restless, fever and considerable dips with vomiting where the oxygen hood for extra oxygen came into play again. Until this morning, just before we arrived at Gideon's place, his values were going up and down a lot. Since then, he has been fully on CPAP again.
When we got to him this morning, he was completely passed out in a maxicosi to give him a more comfortable position because of the vomiting. And he basically laid down for the whole day and has not woken up. He is really completely exhausted, you can tell from everything. We had seen it coming a bit but it's not nice to see him like this. He is not like that and we don't know him like that.
Fortunately, those taking care of him are now keeping a very close eye on him and now that he has been on CPAP again for a while, he did have a bit more calmness in his body tonight just before we left him. Calmer breathing and heart rate with good saturation. That does give us the peace of mind to leave him again now for the night. He is being well looked after.
We are very curious and quite excited about what will happen tomorrow. What will come out of the doctors' consultation and what action will be taken on it.

Hey dears, What a beautiful little guy you have. Many blessings for today. 1 Jn 4:9 In this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
