PRAISE THE LORD!!! Ethan's oxygen cannula was removed this morning!! We have been kissing on those sweet checks all day!! He is now off of all meds, IV nutrients, and oxygen and is eating like a COW. He took 62 cc's tonight at his 6:30 feeding. His stats, including the oxygen levels in his blood, are all great. The nurses are removing his PICC line tonight as well. He sleeps a lot... which is a change for us. Those of you who know our little girl, Helen, know that she rarely sleeps to this day. So, hopefully, we welcome a sleeper to the family! If he continues to stay on this pace, we hope to be home soon. Our Jesus has healed our baby boy, and we give him all the praise and glory!! Please continue to pray for Ethan, JR, and all the other NICU babies that we have come in contact with. We love and so appreciate you all!!
Good news, I'll keep praying!

ReplyDeleteI cracked up laughing when I read the, "he's eating like a COW" part. Most would say "champ" so that's what I was expecting. So the COW just cracked me up. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby boy!! He looks soo different from Miss Helen! It's so funny we think we know a thing or two about babies after the first one, and the second one totally proves us wrong!! God Bless y'all and your precious family!
