Hoping to be home tomorrow

Luke is still doing well. It's been a busy morning and here is the latest:

His oxygen is down to 1.5 liters and will continue weaning, trying for one-half liter by tomorrow.

Feedings are still going well. The pulmonary team is fine with using oxygen at home for just a few weeks until Luke is fully back to normal.

We should also be getting an updraft machine and will keep that and the oxygen at home throughout the winter. That way, if he starts getting sick again, we are prepared to treat him quickly at home (and hopefully avoid another long hospital stay like this).

I've talked to nutrition about his feeding plan and this afternoon we are receiving the oxygen equipment and being trained (it's different than what we had at home before).

Luke is playing a lot - really getting tired of the hospital and ready to be home with Jack.
