What a wonderful week!







It's been such a great week with Ian making so many quick improvements just since Monday, so i just wanted to share some good news Since Monday he has:

1. Came off the ventilator and is breathing on his own with NC (vapotherm)
2. CRIED...biggie for me to hear him (Cuz of the vent is out of course)
3. He's wearing clothes!!
4. He's out of the warmer and into a bassinet as of today because he's holding his own body temperature!

5. I can now get him out of his crib by myself and hold him whenever i wish, for as long as i like! I was only able to hold him for one hour once a day before now.
6. He's getting small feeds of pedialyte and tolerating them well so far.

His wounds are still healing and concern me alot tonight because you can now see the sutures in the wound beds that were used to close the tissue INSIDE his body! Looks very strange but i have them contacting the dr and surgeon first thing in the morning.
YEAH For all the improvements! I'm so excited and happy!
Isn't God amazing!

I just love it Christy! He is doing great! Did the Dr check his stitches?

I am so happy for you and your family. He is such an adorable little guy and such a fighter! My continued prayers are with him, and I hope I get to meet him soon!
