Last week, brother Mills in our ward asked me to take a family picture for the ward photo directory, so we thought this afternoon would be a good time to try. Amy held him, and when you do that, you can't move around much or get up. The rest of us had to wait in the family room until Jane woke up from her nap. Maybe she was still waking up, because Jane didn't want to cooperate with the picture taking, but I think it was more the case that she was scared of Duncan -- he's so intimidating. The wires are what's a bit scary to her, I bet. Ruth gave him lots of kisses. His respiratory schedule is 8 hours on the nasal cannula (good) followed by 4 hours on the CPAP (not as good). The nurses hope that tomorrow he can give up the CPAP for good. It seems like he does better on the cannula than on the CPAP. He might be ready for his first bottle feeding this week; he's using a feeding tube now. No other news on his brain, or heart. He has continued to eat well and he's still at 3 lbs, 5 oz.
I try to post comments and it usually doesn't work. Thinking of you guys a lot. hope things are going well with Duncan. He does look older and bigger! Glad he is doing fairly well and that his breathing is getting easier. Love you so much! Wendy
