Pray for a PICC line, and a shrinking murmur!

Just had a visit with Solomon again and had a chat with his Doctor. Solomon's been doing well today. His billirubin was low enough to come off of the light today, and he's resting well on his stomach in the dark. He looked so calm, it was awesome to say the least. We tried a procedure yesterday to give them better access to Solomon's veins. They tried to put in a PICC line. It was not successful yesterday or today though, because the catheter (PICC) is bigger than his veins once you reach a certain point. If this continues, he will need a small operation. In addition, he has a heart mumur which is expected in kids his age. They used to treat it with indicen (medicine I used to stop contractions) but he's getting essentially ibuprofin instead. We will learn Sunday if it's worked. If not he'll have surgery to fix the murmur and put in a catheter if the PICC line continues to give trouble. The surgeries could be done though as a two in one which would be awesome. Once he gets the murmur taken care of, he'll be able to develop a little faster hopefully. The docs found it early since they wanted to explore doing a PICC line and thought they'd find trouble, so all in all, he's being prepared well for the next hurdles. The docs all say he's doing well, and he looks like it too. He has my nose - I have probably said that before, but will say it many many more times. :)
