Off Oxygen!

Micah is OFF the oxygen!!!!!!!!!!! He is sound asleep he is breathing GREAT!!!!!!!!! They are going to move his feeding tube in a little while!!!!!!!! His nurse practitioner told me that Micah has to prove he can eat well on his own and he'll be able to go home!!!!!!!!! WE MAY BE HOME FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Micah's x-ray looks better today than it did yesterday!!!! The nurse practitioner showed it to me and there is a HUGE difference!!! They are much much clearer and he is even coughing out the junk that is in his lungs. They are going to pull back the NJ tube and make it an NG tube. Then they will start bolus feeds!!!!
A quiet and peaceful night. Micah did awesome and slept until about 5:00am when the nurse started fussing with him. They are weaning off his oxygen and he's still doing great. He's off for an x-ray now and then a day of smiles and cuddles. I love 8 East!!! No sign of going home yet, but there is a light at the end of this tunnel.

Your prayers are working let's pray him home for Thanksgiving!!
