Wes is doing well...his normal crazy self. Both boys were upgraded to "big boy beds"...more commonly know as cribs. It is a big difference from the incubators, but feels more "normal" in a weird way.

Come on Buddy!!
Just a quick update to let everyone know that Max is still on CPAP. He is right in the middle of the time period when they see most kids go back on the vent (usually 3-4 days). His gases have not been looking as good lately, but nothing they will out him back on the vent for just yet. The doctors also felt that it was time to get rid of the INO, and about 24-hours later, he is doing well. His oxygen is in the 40% range, but that is only up from 30-35%. The last time they tried to wean Max off the INO, his oxygen levels jumped to 80%. So there are a lot of moving parts right now, and Kate and I REALLY want the CPAP to stick. I think we both feel that if he has to go back on the ventilator that means he will also need a trake. This may not be the case, but that is what our hearts are telling us right now.
