superb

So today's update: Merv's doing superb. His labs were still a little elevated (for the protein test thing they do he needs to be below .2 and he's at a .6 ...still he was at like a 3 a couple days ago so huge improvement)  unfortunately so he definitely is going to have to be here for at least seven days as opposed to 5 days like we were hoping. It stinks but we're just happy he's improving. I wouldn't be surprised if he was ready to come home Tuesday. He's breathing great..A 1.0 on Flow and normal 21% oxygen and we're hopefully going to wean him completely off over the next 24 hrs. Because his Flow is nice and low Carly is breast feeding him now and Merv's learning to work for his food rather than just getting it pumped into his tummy. And let me tell, he's not a fan:) Clinically (like his behavior, look, etc) he's doing phenomenally better. Acting and looking like a healthy baby. He's honestly so frickin cool and we can't wait for people to spend time with him. A few more days and we should be there. Keep praying he makes positive strides!
