More good progress

Right now it is Saturday and we are visiting with our little man while he snoozes. We are excited about tonight, but even more excited that Benjamin is making more progress. His blood gas was really good again this morning and they were able to wean his ventilator settings again...this time more aggressively than they've tried before....his rate is down by 4 today...to 40 and his oxygen percent is also down by 4...to 84%. Even with these weans, he's got oxygen sats of 100/100 with no fluctuations! We still have a long way to go, but we are headed in the right direction.
We can't wait to see everyone tonight and celebrate how far he's come so far...one of the most important people so far in his life will not be able to come as she will be busy watching over him at the hospital...Tracy is really his Guardian Angel.
