He'll be keeping you up through the night in no time!

He looks great Andy.

Hey! Look who's off the vent!

Getting air delivered to his nose through a vapotherm. It heats air to body temp and adds moisture to it so that they can force a good volume without causing a lot of discomfort. He still needs a lot of help but at least it isn't a tube shoved down his throat anymore.

Wow Andy, that's great news to hear..... And see!

 

[vrajewski10513]

He is precious!! I'm so happy to hear he is doing so well. It hurt my heart to see him hooked up to all those tubes and machines, I can only imagine how ecstatic you guys must feel.

He is gorgeous! I know you are over the moon thrilled. And now you can hold him and cuddle him without needing the entire PICU to help!

Great news! He is gorgeous!

 

[Chrystmasangel]

Gods gifts come in all packages!!!!!!! He is just amazing! Such a beautiful blessing!

 

[vamassey1]

He looks perfect!

 

[pkondz]

And what a good looking lad he is! And what a relief for Mom & Dad to see him with fewer tubes, etc!

 

[franandaj]

What a cute little guy! And such an improvement to see him without all the tubes and such.

 

[Steppesister]

Andy, your boy is incredibly beautiful. So happy for you and Katie to know things are moving in the right direction.

Things are progressing well. The older kids got to hold him yesterday. DS did great with it. DD had been looking forward to holding him since he was born. She got him in her arms, he coughed and I've never seen her move so fast. She thought she was going to get spit up on and she was out of there before we could even get a picture.

 

[Steppesister]

Awwww, that is simply a beautiful picture, Andy. You can really see that Big Brother is so proud. He's so alert now- what a great thing to see!

 

[SarahDisney]

Such a wonderful picture of the boys!

And I totally get the fear of getting spit up on...

So cute!! I bet he's so excited to have a little brother. I'm sure your DD will warm up quickly and soon won't want to put him down!

This made me giggle.....what excitement for the kids and everyone.

 

[jandlinz]

Andy, he's beautiful! What a great brother shot!

Well things have certainly escalated quickly. And in a good way.

We were told with about an hours notice this morning that they were ready to move us back over to the NICU which is a positive step for us... a little bit less critical Tham being in PICU.

Once there we were told that they'd probably just let him rest and adjust for a day or so and not make any changes.

A few hours later they're decreasing his morphine drip and telling us if he has 2 more good blood gas readings they might just extubate him tomorrow. Never in my wildest dreams did I see that coming so quickly. He'll definitely still need oxygen but it would be nice to see that big tube that he keeps gagging on go away.

A very busy day for us but a lot of good news!

What awesome news!!!!!! He looks great and like others said so alert. Best wishes for continued milestones and progress. I am sure DD will give it another try.

Look at those big eyes! So happy he is progressing so well! Funny about DD's reaction to the cough!
