We're Out of the ICU!

Russell is doing great so he is out of the ICU! Matt is excited because we can eat in the room now (besides the fact that Russell is getting better). He is eating pretty good from the bottle.  Sometimes babies with breathing tubes reject the bottle for awhile but Russell took it no problem. He is certainly his father's son. :)

Travis got to come yesterday and see "baby." He was excited to see us but I think most excited to see baby. It was good to see Travis.

Chest x-rays are looking good.  He still has some fluid but it is getting better.

All of Russell's tubes and lines are out except oxygen and a line in his foot for blood draws.  He is on half a liter of oxygen which is less than yesterday so that is progress.

I think that is the full update.
