Alexander had a good night! His oxygen support was reduced and the
nitrous gas was removed. For today, Alexander will be weened off
one of his heart medications and have his chest tube removed. As for
tomorrow, there are many changes planning to be made. His feeding will start again
(hooray!!) and more of his medications will be weened off (double hooray!). We are one step
closer to me holding my baby boy and another step closer to going home! I
might not get the belated birthday gift of being able to hold him, but
I'll take the progress he's made the past two days. He's such a strong
boy and I remind him every second that he must listen to his mother! If
he stays strong, then his mommy will!
