Pierce - Age: 18 days

So, I have not been posting anything as there really has not been much change. He has been on a breathing machine, on morphine, strapped down to the bed with weights on his head. This had been to keep everything where it is supposed to be and not cause undo trauma. All we could really do is watch him lay there asleep.

But today is a different story. This afternoon they extubated him which means he doesn't have the tube in, no drugs and is breathing on his own. He still had to keep his weights on his head, but he looks much better, is breathing, sleeping and swallowing. Yes, swallowing. It looks like he is working it all out.

That is the update for today. Great news!
