More good news from Children's Mercy today!  The oxygen tubes are completely gone and he is breathing well without them.  Henry is now only receiving fluids and his pain med through his PICC line.  All other meds are being given to him by mouth now and David & Dana are learning how to give him those in preparation for when they will be able to take him home (still no news on when that will be).  The plan is that they will further taper the pain med tomorrow...so our prayers are focused on Henry responding well to that change. 

He is continuing do wonderful with his bottle feedings.  He was drinking around 28 mL of milk each feeding yesterday, and he increased all the way to 40 today!  One of the (many) goals before he can be released from CMH is that he needs to be at 50 mL per feeding...and it seems he is well on his way.  Keep it up, Henry!
