Another good day, May 30

Alex had a great day today!

He started the day:

-- on a respirator helping him breathe

-- not having ingested any food (he has an IV)

-- under a "blue light" treatment to ward off potential jaundice

He finished the day having made some great progress.

-- He is off of the respirator (picture on the right is right after the respirator was removed)

-- He had his first breast milk through his stomach

-- Mom and Dad changed his diapers a few times and he did a great job fighting them off

-- He got great moral support from Grandpa and Grandma Felton (like everyday)

-- He will still be under the blue light for a few more days to make sure jaundice does not develop. We are told this is pretty normal.

-- And, he is still getting a little bit of respiration support through a "CPAP (sp?)" that gently blows air into his nose.

We are thrilled with his progress and hope tomorrow is just as good.
