Today Matthew was taken off of Vapotherm! He is now on a regular oxygen cannula that is humidified but not heated. His oxygen settings are at 30% and his saturation levels were perfect. He turned a little blue when they were switching him over but he was just being fussy. Afterwards he was sleeping peacefully. Terri and I spoke with Dr. John Duong-Tran who is very nice. He told us that they will continue to slowly wean Matthew off of his pain medications. His X-rays have been ordered for every other day now. Dr. Duong-Tran believes Matthew will be off the respirator on the same day as his surgery since his lungs are doing so well.

It look like counting sheep really works. Take care precious baby.
I love you. Grandma Sue
The blood gas test (checking for carbon dioxide) that was taken this evening was real good...
So far so good!
