Friday Night Update

The great news today is that Brett gained weight today even though he's sick. Today he weighed in at 16 pounds and 10 ounces. He has been in a great mood when he has been awake and still wanting to roll around and sit up and has interest in toys and watching movies on the computer. Tonight we got to do a video conference with Rob and Mark who were at home. Brett enjoyed that and started smiling and cooing when Mark did all his crazy stuff on the screen that he usually does at home. The only other news I have is that Brett's breathing has become even more labored today, despite still being on a half liter of oxygen. It's for this reason that the doctors are reluctant to put him under anesthesia to put in a more permanent central line. So he's started his course of antibiotics through the little IV in his hand, and will continue to use that over the weekend until his lung function can improve enough to handle the anesthesia. Unfortunately, that means it will be Monday or Tuesday at the earliest that a more permanent line can be put in, and several days after that is when we'll be able to come home. It will be a long weekend, but praying that it will be uneventful. Goodnight!
