One Big Step


Drew is doing so well! We are very proud of our little guy. Drew has been off of the ventilator for 33 hours! Yesterday around 2:00 PM Drew had his endotracheal tube removed and was placed on nasal IMV CPAP. He is growing so strong, we pray that he will keep doing well without the full support of his ventilator. He has had his moments and has thrown a few fits but he calms down with his binky and a gentle but firm hand on his legs and head. Drew loves it when we sing and tell him stories. Today his eyes were wide open and he looked so cute. He is our little hero, we are so grateful for his strength.

Jenn, I was at your mom's house when you were texting her about Drew's progress on Thursday night. We're so glad that CPAP has been successful! Our love to you!

Drew looks incredible! It is such a big step to be off the ventilator. You'll start to bottle feed before you know it. Our last few weeks in the NICU flew by and all of the sudden the girls were home. We keep praying for Drew's rapid progress and for the two of you also.
