Things are going really well, better than expected. Alex continues to do well, not requiring any oxygen. He is doing great. Today they pulled the tube out of his mouth, he didn't like it coming out, but I'm sure it felt better once it was gone. They are going to start feeding him tomorrow if he does OK with the tube out. They have had a hard time keeping his IVs working, so now he has one in his scalp. He also got a new PICC line so they don't have to worry about keeping his IVs ok. The cardiologist is anxious to get him eating to see how he does. He says he won't likely have to have surgery for several weeks, and that if he seems to be eating OK that he will be able to come home soon.
Camille was discharged yesterday. She is doing really well, just the normal postpartum things. She is running in a thousand directions trying to make time for Sam and Alex. We continue to see blessings being poured out on our little boy and our family. We appreciate everyone's concern, support, phone calls and all those who have helped in so many ways.
