Tyler moved from the PCICU to the transitional ICU yesterday. His heart is doing well and his irritability is getting better. He is trying to learn how to feed from a bottle which is a little difficult. Starting to feed at 3 1/2 weeks results in mass confusion with swallowing, breathing and sucking all at once. He spit up most of the food yesterday, but I am sure he will get it little by little. We are so proud of our little fighter. He is doing so great and his oxygen is in the 80's where they want it to be. Grammy has been taking good care of Tyler, which has allowed me to spend some time with Scott who I really missed when I was at the hospital so much. They will be doing the brain MRI tomorrow, which will be really informative to see the differences from his post-operative MRI. We are keeping our fingers crossed it comes back normal. He appears to be very responsive and alert which is great. The doctors are hoping he will be able to come home early next week. Keep us in your prayers! We are so grateful for your constant support and love.
