Doing Better

It's now been about 2 days since Luke had his eye procedure and he's doing much better. He was still pretty out of it most of the day on Friday while his mom sat by his bedside all day and it wasn't until a little later at night, once Stacy had left that he decided to wake up and pull out his own breathing tube. Typical Luke, doing things on his own, when he wants.
He's back on full feedings and his eyes look much better than they did right after the procedure. A lot less red and puffy. Best of all, not only is he off of the ventilator again, but they've actually been able to leave his canula off between feedings so there is a good chance that he might not need to come home on oxygen, but we'll have to see if he can keep it up for the next 48 hours or so.
We're still looking at possibly Monday or Tuesday for Luke to come home and we'll probably have him on monitor when he's home, just for extra peace of mind and caution.
Just a few more days! We'll keep you all posted.

  1. Wow, I can't believe Luke is 3 months old and on his way home in a few days. What a blessing! Glad to hear he is doing better after his surgery.
