Since no news isn't always good news I'll say he's hanging in there.

Had to be revived, intubated again, blood transfusion, etc.

We'll see what today brings.

Edit to say that all of this is just another day in the NICU.

You and your family are just so impressive...it gives me hope, as do all the other posters with their amazing stories.

Best to you and the Little Fighter...I am not an emotional or faithful man but this thread has made me take a knee.

Prayers for strength for the Little Fighter and his family

Life in the NICU has settled in to a routine if that's possible.

The ups and downs are constant and right now the best news is that there isn't any bad news.

No 'code blue' situations yesterday or today so far.

Still hanging in there, but not making a lot of progress.

More to come as I have an update.

Every day forward is an increase in his odds even when you don't see any "progress".

If there's anything I can do to ease the burden for the family let me know. I'd be happy to send a gift card for food, lodging, gas... whatever they need. I've been watching this thread closely and praying for a good outcome.

Thank you! That is an amazingly generous offer!

Right now the expenses are low. My sister-in-law has been able to stay with the baby and people from their Church have been bringing meals to the rest of their family.

If something changes I'll make it known here.

Great that y'all have good support.

For those of you that are inspired by this - Ronald MacDonald House provides cheap/free housing for families going through this (and other things). Our NICU was 100 miles from home and RMH took care of us for a month until we found other accommodations. They seem like a good charity, business wise, and we "pay them back" in support years later...

My wife works with Premmies as an occupation therapist. It's amazing now what they can do and she always mentions it's amazing how far medicine has come that a lot of these kids that wouldn't have done so well 20 years ago are surviving now. I guess I am saying don't lose help.

My thoughts and prayers are for all involved.

Good call on that one. They helped us with our daughter's surgery as well.
