Today was a good day with lots of good news on all fronts. Josh is off the ventilator and back on the breathing machine. The PDA, while still open a bit is now closing and responding to the medication. Josh also gained a bunch of weight yesterday - 180 grams in total. If he keeps this up, he'll be a mega baby by the time he reaches his due date! The other very big news is that a brain ultrasound was done today and they found zero bleeding. This means that they will not have to do this test again until he reaches 36 weeks and it is also unlikely that any bleeding will occur since most bleeding generally happens during the first week.
Evan went back to work yesterday and Becky will go back to work next week. They have decided to work a modified schedule from 7 am-2 pm daily, and then will make up time in the evenings and weekend. Extra big thanks to their employers for making this happen and giving them the flexibility to spend the afternoons with Josh doing the kangaroo care and general bonding.
