lots of the bottle and less of the ventilator

I am amazed at Carson! He is such a little bundle of joy and miracles all wrapped up in one. He took 20 mL from his bottle on his first try. That is impressive! Way to go. :) They also weaned his vent down to 30 on his rate. This just means he gets assistance from the ventilator only 30 times a minute and then he does all the work on the rest of the breaths. He is 7 lbs 8 oz. They are going to start capping off his G-tube a few times a day to see how he does. He has been vented up until now, and we have to make sure he isn't going to throw up with it capped. If he does well, they will transition him to a button.

Kellen continues to do great! Liz and Preston still haven't been able to talk to the doctors about the final CTScan and MRI results, but nothing concerning. 

Thank you, thank you for all your prayers. Let's continue to pray he can wean off that ventilator and progress to being able to eat from a bottle exclusively!
