Gearing up for the real deal!

Landon is continuing to do well with eating. They have upped his amount a few times over the last 24 hours so he's now eating 24 ml every 3 hours (which still is not very much) and still eating it pretty quickly! We fed him a few hours ago and he didn't eat quite as fast but they still have him on the TPN & lipids by IV so when they cut that off later tonight, he will get much more hungry and hopefully rise to the occasion of having "all you can eat" feedings tomorrow!

If all continues to go well (his gut reacts well to the food we've been giving him and he doesn't have any other complications come up) we could go home this weekend! Like I said before, we're excited for the possibility but not holding our breath!

Breathing Tube is Out!

Making some progress today. Landon finally got the breathing tube out this morning. Mom is holding him as we speak. We will post pictures later. Overall he is doing much better but still has a very long way to go. Due to an inflammation in his stomach, which they are treating with antibiotics, they said he won't be bottle feeding for 7 more days! They are giving him lipids and other things through an IV to sustain him until that day comes, but it is going to be real hard to wait that long before I can feed our little guy.

Mom is much happier this morning. Holding him changes everything. We can finally hold him and comfort him some. Plus his cuteness went up again without that big clunky tube shoved down his throat. His right arm is like IV central. He has 3 IVs right now in his right arm.

Please continue to pray for his recovery process and that his saturations and breathing continues on an excellent course. Thanks for your support! Pictures will be posted later of momma and Landon.
