Andrew had a better night. He de-satted less, and this morning his lungs looked better. He seems to be a little more comfortable. The move was a big shock to his system. We spoke with his doctor this afternoon, and we're waiting on some treatments the pulmonologist started on him yesterday. The plan is to wait until early next week to make a decision on a tracheotomy. There's a small chance the treatments could replace the need for the surgery. For now, they're taking him off sedation, extubating him, and putting him back on SIPAP. If a tracheotomy is needed, it will be performed later this week.
Mattie is doing well. She anticipates leaving the NICU in the next few weeks. She still is inconsistent on her bottle feeds. She did take a bottle yesterday in 10 minutes. She weighs 5lbs. 10oz.
Adelaide took 80cc of milk today followed by 70cc during her next feeding!! She's 7lbs 4oz. She's ready to go home.
Praise
Andrew had a better night.
Adelaide taking more milk.
For our marriage and having each other to share this experience.
Prayer
God's will for Andrew's treatment.
Protection and comfort for Andrew.
Andrew's continued lung improvement.
Mattie and Adelaide to get stronger on the bottle.
Strength for us.
