Short update today:

Over the next couple of days they plan to turn down the pressure of the vent and do blood gases to make sure he is tolerating it well. And if all is good he will go back to cpap.

He and will then have something in common, since I use a CPAP machine every night.

Hang in there little buddy.

Two updates today and they are:

!!!!!!Wonderful!!!!!!

so today's Doc call was good news for once. They said he might be off his breathing tube by the weekend! Oh, and one other little indignificant thing, test for WWS came back negative!!!!

The neonatologist just said that the test for WWS was negative and she would get ahold of the genetics team to see where they wanted to go from here. We are going up tomorrow so I'm sure we will get more info then.,

Dang screen is blurry again. A very joyful sort of blurry.

More good news today: I'll try to get the picture linked shortly.

So as you all probably have noticed, he is wearing clothes now. They are starting to get him ready to move from his isolette to an actual crib. He is also off the breathing tube and on a cpap.
Just called his nurse and she said he has been doing really well with that so so far so good. He is down to 4lbs 15oz but that is good because he was, and still kinda is, retaining water and was all puffy so he is starting to get some of that off.
