Drew continues to do well. He had to go back on a machine to help him breathe last night (called a c-pap...that's the thing he was wearing with the cap in the first picture we posted), but they weaned him back down to just the oxygen tube today. He is on pretty low levels of oxygen, so that is good. They started feeding him yesterday, then had to stop last night because he wasn't digesting it very quickly. But his digestive system started moving today and they resumed his feedings. His jaundice is improving as well.

Probably the biggest news is that mommy got to hold him for the very first time today! And twice at that! I was able to hold him "kangaroo" style, as they call it, skin to skin, for about 30-45 minutes this afternoon. Then tonight, they wrapped him in a blanket and I held him for about an hour. He even opened his eyes and looked at me!! So we've had some good bonding time today. :)

We are encouraged that he is doing so well. Thank you all for your prayers. I should be discharged tomorrow and it will still be a few days before we find out Drew's transport status. We are seriously thinking about staying here because of the excellent care he is receiving. We will keep you updated.
