10-11-10

Jordan is doing so good. We are so proud of him. He had a good day yesterday - he is waking up more and opening his eyes. He is not liking the tube in his throat. He gets very aggravated with it and it breaks my heart. He has to pass 3 CPAP trials (where they turn the vent off and let him breath on his own for a hour) to get extubated. He took is first test around 5pm on 10-10-10 and he PASSED!! and his blood/gas levels came back good. When I called to check on him this morning they did the other two test at 11pm and 5am and he PASSED them too!!! He is amazing and we are so proud of him. The doctors will do rounds this morning and decide if he is ready to be extubated. I really hope so cause I think he will be so much happier. Once they extubate him they will take the tube out of his nose also. Today will be another big day for him with all the adjustments. He will also start getting his mama's milk today through a feeding tube. They will only give him a few drops just to make sure his body can handle it. Poor little guy he is 10 days old and never been fed. He is making such good progress and we appreciate all the prayers. God is working miracles in his life and ours. We thank everyone for all they have done and for praying for our family.
