Hi there
its mum again...eli is still tucked up in hospital.
Today was a much brighter day for the simpsons...I was absolutely devastated this morning to find that eli's pulse had dropped to high 50's to 80's...extremely low for a little bubba.
Through the course of the day, many of eli's stats picked up and started doing things by themselves without complimentary support from infusions and stuff. Within himself, he was much perkier and ate a fair bit of grub this afternoon and tonite which is fantastic...his 'runs' have also pretty much got heaps better which is also an awesome thing..his little toosh is very very sore and needs a break.
The cardio team have said that while eli's pulse is very low, his structure and function are good. A 'red herring' presented itself in their investigations and revealed that Eli has a little hole in his heart...something which will rectify itself over time...bloody weird!
Anyways...we are still awaiting the graft vs host disease results, and the theory is now that the steroids he is on can be associated with a low pulse rate. Every day is a bonus...
thats pretty much it...hopefully we will have some more news tomorrow...off to bed now...
hugs
mum

Hi Jodie and Peter
You guys are so brave, and Eli is just so cute, and what a real little fighter.
Only you know how hard it is - we can only imagine, and our hearts go out to you. It really brings home to many people in the office that nothing is as important in life than the health and life of our loved ones.
You guys are inspirational, after all you have been through, and continue to go through.
Take care - Love Julie Nicholes
