Progress report


Matthew

First let me fill you in on Amanda's status. Yesterday they stopped giving her antibiotics. There is no sign of infection, they were just a precaution. Yesterday evening they removed her I.V. She has also moved on from the oxygen hood to the nasal prongs and is doing very well. They no longer need to watch her as closely so they have wrapped her up in a blanket. The best part is her respiratory rate is down into an acceptable range. She has also been able to nurse and take a bottle for at least part of her feedings.

Matthew is now completely off of the oxygen and holding his own. He has also had his feeding tube removed. He has been able to take a bottle for all of his feedings since last night.
