Friday Nov. 2nd

Luke is still doing well. His IV's luckily made it through today, which today was his final day needing an IV, so this afternoon he's IV free again (yippee). He has nursed very well the last few days, they are still only wanting him to nurse once a day, but I have a feeling next week they will bump him up since he's doing so much better. He's been a lot more feisty this week. He's looking around a lot too, so we hung a decorative baby toy above him to look at. He's been very interested in it.
Hopefully this weekend he can wean down a bit on his air flow and then he can be on the low flow nasal cannula again (instead of being on the high flow). This will make it easier to bottle feed and nurse him.
As for an update on our Halloween, Bryan loved being an elephant (a hand me down from his cousins) and did his first trip around the neighborhood for trick or treating. He was having fun collecting candy, it quickly became a game for him. He also had help from his friends Dax and Kasey, our neighbors. Despite being exhausted that evening, we all had a good time.
We'll work on posting pictures.
