Great Progress - Major Milestone

Jereth has not needed any air support (even at night) for over a week now. His lungs and airway are doing their jobs and he looks great. One tube down, a tube and a wire to go.

The physical therapist worked with him on sucking and eating yesterday and said he did very well. Today he was able to take over an ounce of his thickened formula by bottle. When he is able to get enough calories from a bottle and baby food he can get rid of the feeding tube. That's the next milestone we're looking forward to for him.

Continuing to Do Well

Jereth continues to improve and grow. His pediatric cardiologist is pleased with his progress and how good he looks. We are grateful for his continued recovery.

He still uses air support at nights, but spends his days without it. He hasn't got the hang of taking a bottle yet, but is doing better with sucking.

Yesterday we took him along for a family walk. He seemed to enjoy being outside and it was nice to unhook him from the tubes and wires for a little while.
