The Great Outdoors

Trey took a field trip outside today!  We wheeled his bed through the hospital out the front door and hung out on the side patio for half an hour.  Trey got to hear a bird, a plane, and a truck - he felt the sunshine and the breeze, and even saw a therapy dog on the way back to his room.  It was a really special day.  When you've spent the first 141 days of your life in a hospital the small things matter!  We love Fletcher Allen and all of the awesome staff for helping make the most out of this experience.



Thank you to Jenn (the Respiratory Therapist in charge today pictured with Trey) & Nurse Patty for making this happen!
Trey is doing well.  His respiratory rate has been in the 40's & 50's, and his oxygen in the 40's.  These are big accomplishments for him and gives us hope that we will make it home.
