What a Champ!

Holden is handling recovery like a champ! Doctors took him off the ventilator around 3AM this (Tuesday) morning. The little Monkey tolerated it very well and was able to go straight back to a low flow cannula at 2 liters, which compared to previous extubations is awesome! It was great to be able to see the little guy awake and alert. He continues to get pain medication to keep him comfortable. And despite having a fever for half of the day, there were even times when Holden wanted to play and be active. Doctors have restarted him on his formula and assuming he continues to tolerate it, we should be back to his usual amount by tomorrow. If things continue to go well, they will likely move him to a private room either tomorrow or Thursday. I am not sure who he gets his perseverance and spunk from, but I am so glad he was born the fighter that he is!!

Love,
Christine
