Looking Positive

The last few days have not been good days but great days for Wesley! I noticed today that he was starting to breathe over the oscillating ventilator, which is a good sign that he will be moved to the regular ventilator soon. He seems to be back to where he was before he got pneumonia. I had a long discussion with the respiratory therapist who answered a lot of questions concerning his lungs and his progression. He told me that they actually discussed moving him to the regular ventilator last night, but decided to give Wesley just a few more good days before any major changes. He anticipates (although cannot promise) that Wesley will be moved to the regular ventilator by the end of the week. Now, of course, this is ultimately the doctor's decision. Even if he just stays where he is and they do not change anything this week, at least things are looking positive again, and we are not in that dark area like the past several weeks. Wesley has put on some good weight the past few days and weighed in at 2 lbs 8 oz. He's now in big boy diapers (well, not really, but they are the next size up). He is so precious, and hopefully I'll be able to hold him by this time next week. Please keep praying for him, God is not finished with him yet!!!
