News! The light at the end of the tunnel


So sorry I have not been able to update any sooner. My sisters are so very naughty my poor mommy is about to sell them on ebay or give them away on Craig's list. But enough about me.

As mentioned before HAL has been moved to the high flow cannula. He is doing really well on that and is being weaned down to room air which could be soon. Anne has been able to hold him and has learned some infant massage.

Yesterday Anne was able to attempt to nurse. He was pretty tired so wasn't able to latch on, but at least they are able to start trying. They will increase his feedings until he is an "on demand" feeding. If HAL continues to improve the way he is, there is a chance he will go home straight from the Primary's rather than be transferred back to Utah Valley.

Hoping Anne will send some pictures soon.
