Bliss...

Matthew came off the oxygen this afternoon and his oxygen saturation actually went up (I don't know why). They also took out the arterial line which means Mom got to feed him and hold him for several hours tonight. One big stepping stone for heart babies after they come off the narcotics and the oxygen is getting them to eat. It's usually that last big issue to overcome before they get to go home. That's not going to be an issue for Matthew. He did well in each of his first 2 feedings.

After getting our hopes up last week with suggesting he may get to come home around Thanksgiving his Doctors are being more conservative with giving us an revised estimate but with the significant improvement in his right lung and his overall improvement we're hoping/planning to bring him home by next weekend.
