I want to start off by apologizing about the looks of the blog. I tried to change it and messed it up in the process and I do not have the brain power to fix it right now. So just bear with me for a few more days possibly weeks and I will get it fixed.
Update on Matthew:
On Tuesday this week they started feeding him little amounts of my milk. It will be a very slow process, since almost all kids with Daiphragmatic hernias have severe reflux. They have weened him off of the morphine that he was on after surgery. Now they just give it to him as needed. Since then he has become a lot more alert. His eyes are open almost every time we go up there. He is just that much cuter with his eyes open. Yesterday (Wednesday) they ex-tubated him. Which means they took him off the ventilator, for a very short time. They did have to in-tubate again though. He was just struggling too hard to breath on his own. They think it could be because he still has quite a bit of fluid from surgery that he needs to pee off. So they are giving him medicine for that now. Once he pees off about a pound they will try again to get him off the vent. Other then not getting off the vent like the Dr's had hoped he is doing great. It is still a very long road that we have, but things are looking really positive.
Sorry I haven't been really on top of posting. My brain just isn't working quite right yet as I am sure you can all imagine.
Thank you all for you continued thoughts and prayers.
We love you all,
Jaime, Jim, Finn and Matt
