Blake is doing fantastic! He has been hitting every milestone like a champ. He is taking his feedings (although small) very well, and they have reduced his ventilator to the lowest possible setting. They plan on removing the ventilator completely tonight. After that, they will watch him closely for the next couple of days just to be sure his breathing is normal and stable without assistance.
All of the sensors and monitors were removed from his head last night, so he finally looks like our strapping son once again. He is definately a blonde which is the complete opposite of his sister at this age. Blake is a strong little man, and we are proud of him for fighting so hard.
The cardiologist on call today said he would discuss with the full team on Monday if they would consider transporting him back to Austin (via Dell Children's Hospital) next week so we could be home while we are working on his feeding and building his strength. We don't want to get our hopes up, but it would be wonderful to be back home.
