February 10th, Mid-day

Today has been a very good day! First, Trevin's X-ray from this morning shows that both of his lungs are almost completely clear now. Just two days ago both lungs were full of infection. Second, although Trevin is still on BiPAP, a breathing apparatus similar to CPAP that helps Trevin get more air into his lungs, he is breathing so much better and easier that the respiratory therapist has orders to slowly move down the BiPAP settings to ween him off of it over the next day or so. Third, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and heart rate all have been within normal range for last 24+ hours. And, fourth, and best of all, Trevin has been awake and happy today! He's been watching Barney a little bit, and he smiled a BIG SMILE when we sang the Barney train song! Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-WOO-WOO.... Here's a picture of Trevin today with his eyes open. Thank you everybody for your thoughts, prayers and support.
