Back On Track

Drew's laser therapy on Friday went very well. He had a pretty stressful day and had to go through a few changes that he didn't like at all. His feedings had to be stopped before the surgery and Drew had to be placed back on the ventilator because of the anesthetics that pretty much knocked him out. It was a long day for Drew and for us. Seeing him just lay there almost lifeless due to the anesthetics and back on the ventilator was a little hard for us. The laser therapy lasted around and hour and a half and the doctor told us that it went really well. We will learn more about the results from the treatment over the next couple of weeks. Drew took a while to wake up afterwards and he was pretty groggy when we left him for the night. When we came back on Saturday morning the nurse told us that Drew woke up around midnight and that he got frustrated with the endotracheal tube so he just pulled it out! Just like that he was off of the ventilator and back on the low flow nasal cannula! Drew makes us laugh, he is a determined little guy and there is no stopping him. Well last night Drew was back to normal and decided to take the entire bottle for the first time! He has taken whole bottles for nine out of the last eleven feeds!! It is hilarious to watch him wake up about fifteen minutes before feeding time and he starts screaming for his milk. We call Drew our little piggy because he kinda snorts when he first starts feeding and he goes crazy trying drink the whole thing at first. After about twenty minutes he finishes and usually falls asleep, but today he was wide awake for five hours and demanded that we hold the binky in his mouth and sing him songs. He pretty much is going to get his way with everything, we figure that he deserves whatever he wants:) Well if Drew keeps this up we are told that he will probably be home within the next few weeks and we will get to be real parents! That will be an awesome day, we are so blessed and we love our little guy so so much.
