No more ventilators!

You will notice that this is the first picture of Trey without a tube down his throat!!!  Yes, that's right, he was extubated this morning.  In this picture he is holding a little oxygen mask, this was just for the move back into the "general population".  Once he was back out next to his sister, he was set up with a cpac. (The "scuba" gear like Stella had so long ago.) He didn't have the smoothest transition and continues to have a fit when anyone bothers him at all.  Hopefully he will settle down, and begin to get used to things.  The infection in his lungs is still there, but today's x-ray showed that it was getting better slowly.  It also seems that the steroids are kicking in and helping him on his way to breathing on his own.  Although he is not finished working hard yet...it was a great big step for Trey...now it is time to continue in this direction. Trey with his head gear...

Stella continues to be an all-star.  She is taking about half of her feedings completly by bottle.  She is gaining weight and just hanging out. (Happy that her brother is back next to her)  We are still waiting for them to move her downstairs, but we think that they are trying to keep that idea "hush-hush" so our family can stick together! 

Grandpa and Grandma Goolden returned to northern NY today, thanks for visiting!  After a basketball game last night, Daddy returned in time to see the big day for Trey.
