So Matthew has been extubated since Friday morning. He is now on a cpap which is still helping him to breathe, it just does not make him take breaths like the Ventilator did. They started feeding him on a continuous feed, then yesterday they tried to feed him a little ore and to feed him every hour for three hours then wait an hour and continue. Well his feeds did not go so well throughout the night. He threw up everything they gave him. So now this morning they are going to put a different kind of tube to help with this. The Dr. also discovered that is "little" left lung has collapsed so they are working on getting that back inflated. All of this stuff they are doing to him is getting him one step closer to being able to come home. We are FAR from the talk o f getting to bring him home, but it does get him closer. It has been extremely difficult to leave him every day. Just knowing that he is in great care and that this is what he needs in order to get stronger and be able to come home helps a little.
Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers,
We love and appreciate all of you.
Jaime, Jim, Finn and especially Matt
