This weekend...


...Nate did well- his ventilator settings are slowly being weaned down- I was told that if all goes well, we can expect him to be off the ventilator in 10-14 days- I was told that on Friday. Today they increased his caffeine medicine dose- the caffeine is to facilitate the drive to breathe- as he gains weight, they have to increase the doses of his medicines. Also, he was started back on small feedings through his feeding tube today. He had been off since a few days before surgery. In the second picture you can see the incision from his surgery-- it is looking good and should heal up nicely! He looks good and is looking so much like a little baby now.

Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge them!

    He is precious. I really appreciate the pictures. You can post too many for me. I'm glad he is doing so well.
    God bless and keep the pictures coming.
