Good News

All of Peyton's tests have come back favorably.

He now weighs 4lbs 8.8oz, so he lot a little bit of weight the last 2 days due to the diuretic. The doctor told us this might happen since he is expelling excess fluid in his body.

He is down to 25% on his O2 and they are going to continue to ween him down on that today. He is not in an open air crib yet but could be moved to one today.

He is feeding on all bottles now and they are allowing him to eat as much as he can stand as long as he gets a minimum of 40mls. Yesterday he finished at least 45mls every feeding so he is doing well with that. The only thing that is keeping him from getting the feeding tube out right now is his Vitamins and medicine. However yesterday they ruled out the possibility of him needing anymore antibiotics so he will most likely come off the feeding tube today.

It has been 2 days since his last A&B spell, which is important because it has to be 5-7 days straight without incident before they will let him come home.

Thanks to everyone who continue to pray for him and please continue to do so. He is proof that pray works and he still needs all the help and support he can get.
