So much has happened. First, Thomas was moved again this weekend, back to his original room and his original spot in the room. Very weird going back there for us, knowing that we had started there almost 4 months ago. Time has flown by and taken forever. Thomas had little reaction as far as I could tell, but it was not lost on us.
His infection that got us very riled up, appears to have gotten under control and we're a go for surgery Wednesday morning.
Most important, yesterday morning, Thomas was taken off Si Pap and put on...nothing at all! Totally awesome. We really didn't expect that he would get off of ventilation completely, but he is and he's really happy.
He's breathing on his own and so far so good. Now all we need to do is get him through surgery and eating normally (not through a tube). He also got a bath today. No compromising pictures, but he hated it. I've included some bonus pics of Thomas freed from all snorkels, hood or nostril plugs.
Fantastic news. We'll keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers for the surgery on Wednesday.

We will continue to have Thomas in our prayers, especially tomorrow morning. I know we will get a report from Meann as soon as she knows something, and we hope the news will be wonderful. You all will be lifted up in so many prayers,and I hope they will bring you a sense of peace as your little one makes the next big step towards coming home. With love, the Caraways

ReplyDeleteDear Thomas, I just had my first site of you and you are awesome!! I have read all about your first months from words your loving Dad has written and you have been keeping Baylor Docs on their toes, God Bless them and you, and your wonderful parents. You are beautiful and I think those looks come from both Mom and Dad. Always in my prayers, Linda Kemp
