Getting Closer


This past week has been pretty mellow. Hudson is gradually weaning off his methadone and valium at a slow rate. Sweet boy has been extremely sensitive to any changes to his medications so we are just letting him tell us what he can handle at this point. He is still on vapotherm but gradually weaning down on that as well. He is now in a big boy crib and has a colorful mobile that his Mimi brought him to help with his eye coordination. Mommy and Daddy are continuing to dress and bathe Hudson daily and by now seem to know all the hospital staff. Hudson is 2 months old now and weighs 12 lbs 2 oz!! Mommy thinks Hudson is the cutest baby she has ever seen...even the ICU nurses fight over him... The current battle plan is to get him weaned off of his narcotics and vapotherm to a regular nasal oxygen cannula and then they will take him to the OR again for another bronchoscopy before we are moved upstairs to the recovery floor....but we are definetly getting closer!!!
