Will - since he pulled out his ventilator his breathing has been ok...not great, but ok. It's likely, if tomorrow he doesn't improve, he'll be put back on the assisted breathing ventilator (re-intubated). Due to his breathing difficulties, there was no Kangaroo hold for him today, which made for a sad Mom. Mom and Dad are going to the hospital early in the morning tomorrow to beat the new snowfall (expecting another 5 inches) so hopefully one of them can hold Will then. Will's pic line and central line are both out but he's still getting some TPN via IV (not just relying solely on the milk). He's up to 16CCs of food and the weekly catscan results came back as unchanged (fantastic news!).
Tenley - This little princess got to have an hour and a half of Kangaroo care with her Daddy today. Both her central line and pic line are out and she is relying only on the nutrition from her Mom at this point (so she better be eating well!). She is also on 16CCs of food. She's still doing well on the CPAP oxygen machine and has gotten use to the lower dose of morphine so she's not as fussy.
And on an unrelated note:
