More Progress

Jayden made some good progress today. He was finally able to nurse again and I don't think I've ever seen him so happy or content. They warned me he may have a lot of problems and may not take to it right away again, but they were wrong.

He was very happy to be nursing again and so far has not had much respiratory distress while nursing, which means he can keep doing it. His oxygen levels have been reduced again and we're getting to even talk about maybe getting released from the NICU. We may be in the regular hospital for a bit, but it all depends on how he is doing with returning to normal.

We were happy to see him finally smile a bit again and start cooing, so he's finally getting back to his old self.

An additional blessing ... he tested negative for whooping cough so although he is still in isolation, no one has to wear masks anymore around him.

Hopefully we will have more good news as the week progresses. Keep the prayers coming:).
