Daddy's Touch

Healing sleep Nestled as in the womb


They had him on his belly today. They pack him tight with blankets and cover his head to give him the feel as if he were in the womb.

He was so much better today. They are weaning him off his C-PAP and hope to have it out by late afternoon.

His chest x-ray was better this morning, but still not great. He is on double antibiotics because they think he has pneumonia.

He is getting stronger with every passing hour. Your prayers are being heard! Keep up the good work and he will too!

Kelly looked wonderful today. So, thankfully, nothing but good news today!

5:50 PM- Great news!! The C-PAP is out! He in now breathing under an oxyginated hood. Steve and I are going up a little later to see the little guy, full face!!

Hope he keeps up his respiration rates (or keeps them down actually) through the night!!!

Update as soon as I get more news/pictures!

UPDATE: 9:15PM

Just returned from the NICU and Perry looks so wonderful without the tube in his nose! They have weaned him off the sedatives so we got to see him cry and really move around for the first time! He is so strong...he was lifting his head and moving his arms and legs...so cute!

The pictures aren't great because he is under the hood for some of them, and when the nurse took the hood off to move him up in his bed because he had shimmied down, he was still on his belly..but it doesn't matter..that awful tube is out! His oxygen saturations looked good...so he seems to be on the mend!

Perry and Mommy! Love at first sight!He doesn't want a pacifier...he wants his mommy!!
