Thank you all for your kind words and posts.
The theme for today is urine. Hayden was pumped with tons of fluid during surgery and post-operatively. Now, he needs to get rid of the fluid so he can have his chest closed. So, we keep cheering for more urine:-) His urine output is great and if it continues, his chest will be closed tomorrow ( or Friday).
Hayden remains stable. He is still intubated and paralyzed...although he wiggled around a good bit this morning- ya can't keep a good man down. They have been able to cut back on some of his oxygen and nitric oxide, his oxygen levels are good, blood pressure is steady, we are content with this. Little by little he is getting there. We hope for steady progress. At this point, that is all we can hope for.
We did leave last night to sleep and shower.As long as Hayden is " asleep", we will continue to do that. He is in great hands in the PICU. Many of the same AWESOME nurses cared for him following his previous surgeries.
Although we resided at casa Silverman, we did not actually SEE Shiny Tail. I suspect he may have met with the garbage disposal...I hope there is not bait and switch planned.Mom, FYI- I can ifdentify that fish. I intend to check in on him tonight.
Keep hoping for steady progress. Keep us in your prayers. We are not out of the woods.

Shiny Tail is in good hands. Grammy keeps her window shade up, the light on in the bedroom, and feeds him exactly at 8:00 p.m. She even talks to him when she walks by. He seems to know her voice because he swims to the top of the bowl. I will try to keep him up until you come to casa Silverman.
Allison,
Your news is encouraging and we hope it can continue. Love your updates. We continue to pray for Hayden.
Love,
Arnold and Jae
I hope that Shinytail is able to practice his "tricks" -- I know that his training is especially important to Ali. You know, since she also sings to this fish. And talks to him. While on the phone with me.
Thanks for keeping us posted on this blog. We are thinking of everyone!

Hayden is so fun andfunny and such a sweet soul. He loves to please and loves to be a cuddle buddy. This is what I enjoy about him when I send my time with him. Love Grandma Sally
Hi Ali and Rob,
We're so glad to hear Hayden is moving in the right direction. He's a strong little man! We're thinking of you constantly and will check in again later.
Love,
Kathleen & Derek
Shiny Tail is lagging behind in his training. Idon't think a qualified trainer resides here:-)
