Lincoln is doing ok.. not great.. but ok! He has alot of discharge from his lungs due to the pneumonia and his vent settings were increased but he is still stable. He was feisty today which we LOVE! He keeps trying to extubate himself and pull his vent tube out but that would not be good..! I held him for a while and he did very well... he loves being held and swaddled... he gets cuter every day! They are dressing him so we are having fun with that.. he has a little preemie buddy at Childrens now so we bought them matching whale onesies and little blue shorts... sooo cute!! He is on 'air' mode in his isolette which means he is able to regulate his own temperature ... this makes us very happy since we know that severely brain damaged kids are unable to do that. He is also on 'cycled' lighting so he has lights on from 7a-7p every day. He is turning into a big boy! He gets an ulrasound in the morning to check the status of the blood clot on his picc line.. we hope that goes well. They are also cautiously restarting feeds tomorrow.. that will be interesting! The doctor thinks he still has some dead bowel or scarred bowel and the only way to find out is to feed him again.. we can just hope and pray that it goes well and we can move on with growing and feeding and eliminate the tpn feeds... Camping is going great! Cole loves it and it's a nice getaway for us as well as keeping us much closer to Lincoln!
