Quick, quick update!

Danny called the hospital this morning and was told that Tucker has been doing so well that they decided to try putting him on the conventional ventilator to see how he does! That means WE CAN HOLD HIM!!! They think he might do well on the conventional, if not they'll put him back on the Jet and try again in a little while. He's up to 10cc every hour of breast milk, no more IV proteins or lipids YAY!!! He had what's called a P.I.A which is a line that goes directly into his artery and monitors his blood pressure, and where they could take blood from without having to stick him all the time, and it came out yesterday...but since they're only getting blood gases twice a day they're not going to put another one in!!! One less line we have to worry about!!!! They've discontinued getting x-rays every morning, they didn't feel the need to continue that...which is so great. We're heading to the hospital in a few minutes, if they let us hold him today be looking for pictures tonight!!!! Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers...without them I don't think he'd be half as strong as he is!!! We love all of you!!! I'll post more later!
