Today they took most of Austin's IVs out! This is a huge step! They took some out over the weekend, then today took one out of his arm, and one out of his neck. He currently only has one left in his arm! Yay!
Andy & Heather were able to hold Austin some yesterday and again today. This morning Heather went in to see him and he was fussy, once the nurse put him in her arms, he stopped fussing. He knows his Mommy! This was very encouraging for Heather!
We're hoping and praying that he can be moved out of CICU and back to the NICU tomorrow. Dr. Knott-Craig also thinks we can start trying to give him a bottle tomorrow for the first time. Pray that he'll be strong enough to figure out how sucking and swallowing works. So far he's only had breast milk through his feeding tube, tomorrow may be the day he can have breast milk in a bottle. Pray that this will happen, once he is eating more, then he can gain his strength back quicker. Keep praying! Your prayers are being answered! Thank you!
