Nothing but good news to report. Luke is tolerating his feedings (smallest amount possible - 0.5 ml/hour bypassing his stomach and going straight into his intestines). Since he is doing OK, they will probably not change any oxygen or nitric levels for a few days (oxygen is at 40% and nitric is at 15). Besides his morphine, he has not needed any extra sedation, so he is wiggling around more and starting to open his eyes and look around when we talk to him.
Jack's feedings are going into his stomach and he is on the highest setting for the feeding tube (I think 10 ml/hr). Both sets of grandparents have enjoyed holding him this week. His PICC line was taken out yesterday, so all he has now is the oxygen line around his face and his feeding tube (plus the three probes for heartrate, breathing rate and pulse). While I was at church for Real Life last night, Rachel gave Jack his first water bath - she said he seemed to like it.
