Happy Fourth of July to everyone! I hope you got to enjoy the beautiful weather, grilling and flip flops! It's our nation's birthday and most of you know I'm from Independence, Iowa! We know how to celebrate July 4th! My only request is you do a little extra celebrating for me!
Austin has had a quiet day. Quiet is good! He's no longer getting supplemental IV fluid, so we were able to go off the unit and get some fresh air! He loved it!
We continue to observe his stools and tolerance to his feedings. His stools seem to be moving towards his "normal". Dr. Kennedy was in this morning and wanted us to stay status quo today. His enteral (feeding tube) feeds are at normal, but his bottles are only about 1/2 what he normally gets, so he will have 2 goals tomorrow: tolerate full bottles and green beans! I think those 2 things are our one way ticket out of here! One way because we do not want to come back...again! His demeanor was definitely improved today and we saw more of the Austin we are used to! Hoping that means he's feeling better!
Max had a fabulous day with Grammy, Call Papa, Uncle Chris, Aunt Candy, Gavin and Jacob! Brian and I are so grateful for the normalcy they can provide for Max while we focus on getting Austin back home! Enjoy the pics...these 2 are pretty good buds!
Hugs,
Tara and Brian
Max and Austin
