We are happy to report that Liam was extubated today around 10 a.m. and is still doing well 12 hours later at 10 p.m. Sunday night. If all goes well overnight, Liam will move to the cardiac unit tomorrow.
We were both so happy to get to hold him. Until today, Bill and Lisa had only held Liam for 2 hours each. All Lisa did today was hold Liam. It was great!! :):):):):):)
Lisa tried to give Liam a bottle, but he didn't want anything to do with that. The nurses will continue to try to feed him every 3 hours tonight. If he still won't eat, speech therapy will come in tomorrow to work with him on "suck and swallow." No one is terribly concerned about his refusal to take a bottle yet, because he was on a vent for so many days. We know his throat is sore and we also know that he doesn't want one more thing crammed in his mouth. They expect that it will just take a little extra work to get him accustomed to bottle feeds, and then we'll work on breast feeding.
Thanks so much for your ongoing prayers and support...
In Christ,
Bill and Lisa
