We just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for the comments you leave. We both read them every day and they mean so much to us! Thank you!!

Not too much of an update this morning. They have bumped Dinky's ventilator rate back up to 30 because he was just requiring too much oxygen to stay at 28. Hopefully as his lungs heal they will have better luck weaning him. They're also going to keep his feedings at 3.5 mL an hour until the respiratory status settles down a bit. In the meantime his weight has dropped to 1130g which isn't surprising because he had had such a HUGE gain a few days ago.
