Morning Rounds Update

Just had morning rounds with the Dr's and sounds like things are moving in the right direction.  Lil man's blood gases are better, cpap machine is doing it's thing however they did switch out the mask so its not as abrasive on the nostrils, skin color looks good and his heart functions continue to be solid.  Xray over the night was still showing a good amount of crap in that upper lobe lung however its getting better just taking it's sweet time.  Will continue with PT therapy (karate chopping his chest to loosen up the gunk) as well as continue lasiks.  The best part of the night was the fact he isn't in pain, he didn't have any morphine overnight and hasn't had any since lunchtime.  Only getting a bit of Tylenol which is awesome.  Shortly we will continue to whine off the flow/O2 coming from the cpap machine and we are starting his gut back up with dropping a tube past his stomach into his intestines to place some moma's milk in there.

All in all, we are moving and moving in the right direction just slow and steady but that's the way we like it.

Will continue to keep you all posted, thanks for all the notes/emails/texts/ph calls/visits and well wishes....our family will never be able to repay you all but we vow to never forget and always be there for you all as well ---- love you all.
