More progress for Charlie

We just got home after spending all day with Charlie. The big news for Thursday is that late in the evening he was moved to the progressive unit, which means he's getting closer to coming home!!

He is doing a pretty good job with taking the bottle and nursing, but we did have to threaten him with the feeding tube this afternoon to make sure he ate enough to keep his doc happy. The only thing keeping him at Cook Children's right now is the little bit of oxygen he's still on. If we can wean him off the O2 and he does well for at least 24 hours without it, his doc will probably discharge him!!!

Please pray that he tolerates the O2 weaning process on Friday and continues to feed well. If he does these things, we could possibly have him home this weekend. God is GOOD. Our boys are indeed the children He has blessed us with.

  3. It has come to my attention that another Coco is posting to the Jillybean blog. I am Jill's mother and am the boys' "Coco". We are so blessed that so many people have cared about little Charlie and there have been so many prayers for him. I am personally pleased that he was named after my Dad. But please do not follow the other Coco example and call him "Chuck". My Dad would roll over in his grave !!! He did not like that moniker.
