Landon's first day of recovery

Landon is doing very well today!! He has been receiving medication to help control his pain. He has had one thing removed so far and that is the blood flow sensor that was on his forehead. He has a breathing tube in his nose and his oxygen started at 6 liters per minute and has now been brought all the way down to 3 liters per minute! He is maintaining his pulse ox very well and the goal is to wean him off of that today. He should also have his catheter removed today! His cry is starting to sound more like him too, so that is great!

He had some moments of alertness during the night, but has slept most of the morning. He is awake now because we moved to our own room!! We had been sharing a room and it was a tight squeeze, so when we got the news that room opened up, we took it!

As I type this up, he is getting some food!! This is the first opportunity he has had to eat since he ate on Wednesday at 11:30 am! He seems very happy to have some real food instead of sugar and protein through a tube that he can't even taste.

While I was out to take a shower, Child Life came by and delivered a fleece tie blanket for him. It was made by a 3rd grade class in Middleton! We feel so lucky to have such generosity around us!

I'm sure I will have more to update everyone later as well! Keep praying that he continues down this road of improvement!

These are from when he was still in Monroe, but Aunt Megan and Michael visited last night.

Grandma and Grandpa Bausman are here now!
