This will be a long process. There seems like something pops up every day, yet in some areas it is two steps forward, one step back. Will most likely be on a ventilator for weeks to months. Has a condition that they haver not found a cause for and that they may never know why. So we grasp each small positive and continue a day to day watch. Today's issue is a urinary tract infection but unfortunately one of his many issues is that he has not been producing enough of those cells that fight infection. One day at a time.

Thank you all for the continued prayers. They are still needed.

ISH, be strong.

And, be thankful we live in the era we do, and not 100 years ago when the medical technology was no where near where it is today.

I liked your idea about singing ABC to your grandson, especially with that last line. Very special.

Still praying. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand.

I don't have a lot of experience of childbirth (I have two kid's so that's the extent of my knowledge", but when my first was born he wasn't breathing and they had to hit the panic button or whatever signal they had to get the doctor there quick.
I had been given the job of recording the times between contractions and I carried it out to the letter, I had pages covering a good 12 hours. So when my son was born I saw every second pass that he wasn't breathing, it was recorded as 3 or 3 1/2 minutes, yet I know for a fact that it was over 7 minutes.

It was the happiest and worst day of my life all mixed up in one. He is a healthy 25 now.

Very grateful that you think to come back here to let us know how things are going, I think it is part of this condition that we look out for our friends and even if we are unable to do anything we want our friends to know that we are with them.

I am writing this in the morning. The quiet and peacefull environment of a rural Bed and Breakfast overlooking a lake. The morning sun srtreaming through the windows. I am the only one awake except the owner just now russling around with the morning's preparations.

Why do I say this? Because the resiliency of babies, all the good thoughts and prayers really work! Connor is doing so much better! My wife and I decided we could and SHOULD go ahead with out anniversary weekend away. For the first time we feel we can "stand down" a little.

Yesterday just before we left, I went to the hospital and I heard Connor's cry for the first time! OMG it melted my heart. He is now extubated and on CPAP. Rather high oxygen support but it is such a huge step! His chest tubes are out also. My daughter had her first chance to hold him 2 days ago. He was 3 weeks old yesterday, still 6 weeks early. Still faces some potential issues.

Thank you to each and every one of you who have held Connor in your prayers, your thyoughts. Please continue to do so. The support of this community can be such an awesome thing!

Like KP I got scared when I started to read your post. Then relief and a tear as I read on to hear that Connor is doing much better! Someday these will just be stories that you tell your happy and healthy grandson. Still praying and have a candle lit for Connor. Have a wonderful anniversary weekend. You deserve it.
