Progressing....:) April 2, 2011

Maddox is doing better today. His numbers and stats are stable. His urine output is working as it should. Dr Cass spoke to me today and said that they are happy with his progress thus far considering his previous surgery. So far no new complications have arisen. We are very happy about that. Now they are working on trying to recruit his lungs to work on their own so they can eventually start weening him off ECMO.

We just got back from Maddox and he was awake and alert for almost 45 mins! Little man is just too funny. His eyes were bright and wide open. His eyes are the most beautiful thing ever. It pierces our soul to the core. We are so proud of him. He just loved hearing both his mommy and daddy's voice. He loves to listen to his dad read to him.  He knows for sure that we both love him so much and we will always be by his side cheering him on. He's such a strong baby and continues to fight! : )  Maddox has a long way to go but we have faith he will  get there. Looking forward to the day we can take him home.

Below are some pictures we took tonight with the camera phone. It's a bit blurry...
