Good Steps

Julian had another good day.
This is what looks good:
- One of the lowest blood gas numbers (45) that he has ever had.
- The results of a chest x-ray on 12/28 may show an improvement.
- His echo remained unchanged, when they expected it to get worse.
- He did not take on any fluid weight.
- He was alert and calm with baby-like movements like chomping on his hands.
- Catch up head growth and along-the-curve length growth (Even if it is the 0%ile).

He slept on me for about five hours.
Happy New Year!
Joy

Slowly but surely, he is getting ready to come home. He loves it in his Mommy's arms!
