Hello again! Today has been much like the last couple days...sleeping, eating when they will give him a bottle and more sleeping. His oxygen need today has remained in the upper 20s and his personal oxygen saturation has been in the low- to mid-80s, pretty much the same as he has been the last 24 hours. They are hoping to try nasal oxygen tomorrow and see how he does. It will be SO nice to see him without the big hood of oxygen covering his head!! Here's hoping it works well enough for him at this point. The doctor is also hoping that by Sunday, he will be receiving enough liquids by mouth and feeding tube that they can take out his "central line" which is all the extra IV fluids/lipids, etc. going in to his belly button. We are certainly seeing progress and are so thankful to each and every one of you for your support and prayers!! We never imagined Caleb would be doing this well a few days after birth and are so thankful he has not needed surgery thus far and/or the medicines the cardiologist figured he would need after birth to keep the heart valves open. Here's hoping tomorrow we have a great picture of him with eyes open and NO space helmet! :)
