One Week

Strange how so much can change in just 1 week. Last Sunday we wrote our most depressed blog and we were both feeling so down and out. After having a setback with Evan and needing to go back on cpap it was really feeling like there was no light at the end of the tunnel. This Sunday I am holding our boy with him staring up at me and grinning while I am smiling at him.

Small list of miracles this week -
We were moved out of the PICU to the Peds ward, he is off of any breathing assistance, and taking all of his feeds from a bottle. He is now taking all meds orally rather than thru an IV. It's no longer necessary for his heart rate, respiratory rate, or saturation levels to be monitored and he is able to wear an outfit now. Mom gave him a bath this morning and he has had all his little nails trimmed. He has also lost virtually all his water weight and is near his normal weight again and in normal size diapers.

We still have a long way to go, but we feel very blessed this Sunday and the sun is starting to shine again for us! (And if you live in the NW that's quite literal as well)

Ben.
