The boys are doing well today. Beth, Carson's nurse for the day, thought his lungs sounded a little better than they had in the past. Hopefully and because of all the prayer, his pneumonia is getting better. His blood gas was still good after the changes to his peak inspiratory pressure the last few days. They didn't do any changes to his ventilator today, but they will be checking gases and x-rays tomorrow and we will see how he is doing. On his feeds, I was mistaken earlier. He is actually getting a bolus feed every three hours, but they put it into his G-tube for 2 hours. So he really only has one hour of break, but still better than continuous feeds. His weight is about 5 lbs 12 ozs or so and Kellen is about 5 lbs 14 oz. The boys are getting close to breaking 6 lbs. :) Hip hip hooray!
Kellen continues to do great, but we are still not sure when he will go home (Friday or next week). We will see! Liz and Preston are going home to Dexter for the first time in a really long time tomorrow.
Blessings to all of you!
