Alex Update 1

I just got back from the NICU.  We baptized Alex, which went fine.  He looks stronger already.   He has an IV in his left arm, but he was sleeping comfortably.  He feels very warm.  The nurse told me that his respiratory rate is coming down, which means he’s not breathing as hard: A great sign.

I asked if he keeps doing this well if he’d be able to come out of the ICU tomorrow and she seemed to think so.  Obviously things can change, but I think that’s probably going to be what happens.

She also said we’d probably be able to hold him later today.  I can’t wait!
