He's making progress.

Bryton is just amazing. There is no other way to put it. We can't believe the things our little boy has been through, and managed to come out on top. We have our good days and our not so good days, but he is just such a fighter and has such a strong will to survive. It's amazing. He is amazing. The issue with his lung last week took us a few steps back, but he is making progress again. He is almost back up to full feeds and tolerating it well. He is pooping on his own and continuing to tolerate the adjustments on his ventilator. Hopefully within the next few weeks, he will be able to maintain his body temperature and move into an open crib. As soon as he proves that he can tolerate full feeds for a while, and the doctors are comfortable with his status, not to mention certain that he wont need any surgical procedures, we'll be going back to Christiana. Yay! It's nice to have him so close to us, but Christiana is like home. We miss it a lot- mostly because of the wonderful staff that we know take such amazing care of our son. A.I. duPont is a nice facility, but it's different. For now they don't plan on making any major changes and we are all pretty confident in they way things are going. He looks great ( 4 lbs 7 oz!!!) and he is making tons of progress. We still see a small amount of swelling, but nothing substantial. He is such a blessing and we just can't wait to finally bring him home and have our family together. Thank you so much everyone for all of your comments, e-mails, cards, and phone calls. We don't always have time to let you all know how much it means, but we would be lost without all of the love, support, and comfort we've had from you. You're all wonderful and we appreciate you so much. Have a great night everyone!
