No More Tubes or Incubator









Peyton now weighs 4lbs 10.2oz, again. He is putting back on the weight that he lost when he got on the diuretic.




He is now in an open crib (the same ones you see in newborn nurseries) and he got his feeding tube out. They also are trying him without oxygen again, so he has no more tubes or tape on his face. This is very exciting since it is the first time we have ween him without anything on his face.



They are letting him eat as much as he can stand every 3 hours as long as he finishes a minimum of 40+ mls. He finished 55 mls yesterday morning but then spit up for the first time so we think that his capacity is probably closer to 50 mls.



He will get his immunizations today and possibly get circumcised as well. They are doing that now so he has the weekend to heal before they run anymore tests next week.



Please continue to pray for him and that God may watch over him and protect him. We really want to thank everyone who continues to pray for his health and please continue to do so.
