Brooks is still trying to get over his infections. They are slowly weening him off of his pain medications, steroids, and antibiotics. When they put him on the ventilator he had to receive his food through a feeding tube. Tonight I gave him his first bottle since Saturday, February 12th. He worked very hard but was only able to drink 12 of the 60 CCs. His throat is still very sore and his coughing is pitiful. He is such a sweet baby that he rarely complains.
My mother stayed with him at the hospital today. She bought him a bouncy/vibrating seat. He absolutely loved hanging out in his seat. He also loves looking at his mobile while laying in his crib. It is so much fun to watch him. His blue eyes light up the room!
We pray that his infection clears up, his lungs continue to develop, and he grows out of the kidney reflux without requiring surgery later. Brooks has been through so much in his short life, it hurts me to imagine him going through anything else.
Brian and I thank you for all of the prayers and support that we have received.
