Everything is about the same today. They tried to start lowering Ben's oxygen so he could go on a regular oxygen tube and he was not ready for that yet. Therefore, he is still on the vapo-therm but doing pretty good with it. Today's chest x-ray showed a little bit more gunk (for lack of a better term) in his lungs than yesterday's but its not bad.
As far as from a mom's standpoint - he seems like an entirely different kid today. If you took all the tubes out he would seem pretty much like a normal, healthy kid. He has been very alert for a big part of the day. I held him a lot. They took him off his feedings for a while when they were checking out his oxygen levels and he got pretty hungry but that was ok. I would have liked to see more improvement from what the drs had to say but at least he doesn't seem so sick anymore.
