1/30 Update: Good News!

Good news to report from today! Andrew received a new bed - he is now in a big boy crib!!! Dr. Franzek is very pleased with his progress and has reduced his oxygen flow (what comes through the canula) from 1.5 liters to 1.0 liters and will continue to decrease as he tolerates. Right now...he's doing fine on 1.0 liters.

His feeds have also been increased to 2 ounces! This means we are getting much closer to discontinuing his IV fluids. They have been doing blood sugar level checks throughout the day, and so far each one has come back in great shape. We are hopeful that if one more comes back positive, there is a good possiblity that his PIC line will probably come out tonight!!! We shall wait and see!

He's just beautiful!... Thanks for sharing, Pilar... I certainly know first hand the power of prayer. Have faith that it will bring you all home together soon...
Can't wait to see the little guy in person. Remember to take care of yourself, too. Congratulations again to you and Josh and big sister Abby!
Warm Wishes, Monique Duda
