Landon's recovery, Day 1, Part 2

Landon is still doing very well with his recovery. His morphine has been reduced, his breathing tube was switched out for a slower flow one that will help him be able to eat better, and his oxygen flow is all the way down to 1 liter per minute! He has eaten three times today!! We were very excited about that! That is the first step we need to take for him to be released. The two main stipulations for him to be released are for him to eat and gain weight. For lack of a better saying, it's baby steps. The total amount he had was 30 mls, which is 1 ounce. However, with the first 15, he probably spit out 5 of them. So his total intake has probably been 25 mls. That doesn't sound like much, but that is a lot for our little guy!

We are expecting the chest tube to come out tomorrow, which will really improve his pain level, which will also mean reducing his morphine even more. We aren't sure if anything else will be removed tomorrow, so we will see what happens.

We had a few more visitors today, Kurt and Becky Cohen stopped briefly this afternoon, with gift cards in hand from people at school, and Mike and Kelly came tonight. Thank you again to everyone who has sent prayers and support! We can't say enough how blessed we feel through all of this!

You can see how groggy he looks here! He is being burped after having the last of his milk!
