9 weeks!!!
Wesley is 9 weeks old now and had a pretty exciting week. They removed the broviac line early in the week because of the infection. They put an IV in his foot to administer the antibiotics, but there aren't any other fluids he is receiving regularly, so it does not affect him to lose that central line. The infection appears to be clearing up, but we have not been given the all clear sign yet. The antibiotic treatment runs for at least 10 days, even if the infection clears up prior to that. The big news of the week is that they moved him off the oscillating ventilator to a conventional ventilator! We still have not been able to hold him, but hopefully he will be stable enough on the new ventilator to hold him soon. He is now 3 lbs 13 oz. We will be celebrating his first Thanksgiving here in a few short weeks. I know what I'm thankful for!!!!
