We got the spinal tap results back today... and NO INFECTION!!! Yay! Austin is doing really well!
Austin had a big day today, four HUGE things happend for Austin today...
1. His spinal tap test came back negative. Keep praying that he'll stay strong and not get an infection!
2. He was moved from his current bed to a different bed. There are different types of incubators for different needs. Austin was able to be moved from one bed to the other. This shows that he is improving.
3. He isn't depending on the oxygen to help him breathe. He is breathing completely on his own with no assistance! Pray that he'll be able to maintain his own oxygen levels without any help.
4. And he even took a bottle today! Go Austin!!! As I've mentioned before, this is usually very hard for babies like Austin. When a baby has a heart defect, this usually prevents them from being able to suck and swallow from a bottle... but guess what... Austin did it today! Pray that he'll continue to gain strength and continue to be able to eat from a bottle instead of the feeding tube. Pray that his sucking and swallowing of the bottle won't affect his heart rate, and he'll keep doing it!
Keep praying! You have no idea how much your love, support, encouragement, and especially your prayers have meant to Austin and his family. Thank you!
Stay tuned for more updates!
