Holding Tyler
Tyler is continuing to do well. He got out 2 more chest tubes and they will probably take out the last tube tomorrow. They removed the line going directly to his heart which allowed us to hold him today. Yeah!! It was so wonderful holding him and he loves being rocked. His lungs started to collapse which is common for inactive babies who have been on a respirator for long periods of time. The doctors placed him on high flow oxygen again and started respiratory physical therapy that usually helps the lungs expand. His lungs looked better on an x-ray in the afternoon which is great. They stopped feedings when they took out his tubes and lines and will hopefully start them up again in a day or so. Overall he is doing well. The major concern is getting his lungs and breathing more normal. Thanks for your prayers and love. He looks so good without all of his tubes. Nothing compares to being able to hold him again. All our love.
