Luke had a better night last night. He was able to sleep a lot better and stretched his breathing treatments out to 3-4 hours instead of every 2 hours. He is still on a lot of oxygen (12 liters at 40%), but they will try to wean him lower today.
The doctor was happy with how Luke is acting this morning, but his oxygen needs to be much lower before he can start eating. Rachel is concerned because he has lost a pound these past two days - it took a LONG time to gain that pound. Luke was given a TPT feeding tube and they may try some small feeds today just to get something into his stomach.
Looks like it may still be a few days before going home, but he is definitely going in the right direction. Thanks for your continued prayers and for the family and friends that have been taking care of Jack while Rachel and I split our time at the hospital and sleeping at home.
