We got a call from the neonatologist this morning, and he had spoken to the pulmonologist, who is following Andrew's case. He will also be seeing him at Our Children's House. He was very pleased with Andrew's progress and how he responded to being put on the home vent. His x-rays looked pretty good and his carbon dioxide level was 50. They want to wean him a little off the ventilator and re-check his carbon dioxide tomorrow, but they are planning to move him to Our Children's House on Monday. We are overcome with joy and actually danced when we heard the news. It will still be several more weeks of being at Our Children's House, but Andrew is one step closer to coming home.
