Ethan's status remain to be great. DRs continue to take him off of some meds and lower some other medications because he's just not needing them anymore. His swelling is all gone. They continue to bring his oxygen enrichment of his ventalator down toward "air-like" levels. His oxygenation levels are even better than yesterday. They are actually where they need to be for him to go home. The plan had been to take him of the ventilator Friday but he is doing so well, they've moved that up a day to Thursday - tomorrow! Tonight they will start feeding him some of "Mom's Finest" through an NG tube that goes into his stomach. We will likely be able to hold him again Friday! Today he spent a good part of the day with his eyes open, alert, and looking around. It was really nice to see those eyes again. We hadn't seen them since Sunday morning.
I'll try to update at noon tomorow, or after they take him off the vent, whichever comes first. Everything is going GREAT!

I am so glad everything is going well. I'm sure that being surrounded by so much love and prayer has really helped!! We will pray for continued health and improvement. Good luck w/ removing the vent - I'm sure he'll be happy about that!
It is great to hear the good news. Already an overacheiver at a couple days old!! So glad to see prayers answered and peace reign.
I'm so happy for you all!!! Just wait until you get to the CICC Unit. Then things will really start moving and he'll be outta there in no time! Shelby is scheduled for her cath on the 28th but we have to come up on the 27th b/c they want her there at 7:30am. We will be at RMH so maybe we can set up some time to meet and let you meet our little miracle if your little miracle isn't home yet. It sounds like he is doing great though! Still sending prayers your way!
