Update on Lucas

Despite Lucas' setback last week, he is doing very well today. He was put back on the cannula and feeding tube on Friday after some breathing difficulties. He seems to be doing better, and the conclusion is that he was being pushed too hard. He was taken off oxygen, the feeding tube, and put into a crib within a 24 hour period. A chest xray showed some fluid in his lungs, so after a round of diuretics and the return of the cannula and feeding tube, he has improved. The feeding tube was removed yesterday, and they are starting to slowly ween him from the cannula. No big pushes though.

It's been quite the week in the Gage household! We are packing, closing on our house this Friday, and moving Saturday, and hopefully Lucas will be coming home sometime this week! Lucas turned 2 weeks old this Saturday. Isn't it cute that he sleeps with his hand on his chin. He was doing that in several of our sonograms as well.
