Mommy's Little Man

First Day of Spring

Just Full of Smiles

Joshua did very well the week after being hospitalized. Kurt's mom came up to watch him for the week so we didn't have to throw him right back into Germ-ville aka daycare. He is quite the character though, he is cooing and smiling more and more everyday, and we've been working on strengthening his neck so he can sit upright. Can't wait for April though for Joshua's baptism. Hopefully family got the invitation.

Finally Home

Josh is doing very well. Today we got discharged from the hospital. It's so good to be home. Living at a hospital for 26 days is NOT a joy. Josh made a great transition back home. We went in with a quiet sleepy sick boy, and came back with a healthy, talkative, and smiley one.

03/06/11 Update

We are heading a little closer to home. They took Josh off his vapotherm canula, and now have him on just a regular canula. They started him out on 2 liters per minute, and recently cut him down to 1 liter per minute to see if he can handle it. So far so good. Monday they are going to evaluate his "sucking" and see how well he does feeding from a bottle. I know he can do it! We have been testing it today w/ the pacifier.

3/5/11 update

Doctor report: Josh is doing fantastic and is a straight A patient. They are going to drop him to 4 liters per minute of pressure on his vapotherm for 24 hours, and if he passes that, tomorrow they will put him back on a regular nasal canula. If all goes well, then Monday they will have him practice eating from a bottle again.
