Tuesday update...

Sorry we missed posting yesterday. It was a busy day. They moved Liam to another part of the PCCU because there are no beds on the cardiac unit. It may be that he'll be discharged for home straight from PCCU. We were also working on feeding. The speech therapist and Lisa's mom are the only ones who have been successful getting Liam to drink from the bottle. We told Lisa's mom she couldn't go home since she seems to have the magic touch, but she is set to board a plane this afternoon. We sure will miss all the help, love, and support she offered to us through all of this. We're calling in lactation this afternoon to help get Liam started breastfeeding, so we'll see how that goes. He'll have to be eating better on his own before he can come home, but he really is improving his bottle-feeding skills, so we hope to bring him home by the end of this week!!!

Liam is off the vent, off oxygen, and doing great overall. It is such a relief to see him nearly "tubeless" (he only has the NG tube for feeding plus his wires that link him to the monitors at this point). Lisa hopes to post pictures later, but not making any promises since life is kind of crazy right now traveling to and from the hospital.

Thanks so much for your ongoing prayers. Please continue to pray for strength for Liam's family and for ongoing healing for Liam...

In Christ,
Bill and Lisa
