Evan Update

Evan is doing much better since my last update.  He has come off the intubation and is on a CPAP machine with no added oxygen, just like his brother Alex.  I'll be headed over there in 10 minutes or so to drop off some milk and get an update from the nurses or doctor, depending on who is there. The plan for both boys is pretty much the same: ween them down to breathing room air unassisted, slowly and one step at a time.  At this point, I don't really expect either kiddo to come home before Wednesday at the earliest as the pediatrician is inclined to go really slowly with them.  The criteria for them coming home is: breathing room air on their own, maintaining their own temperature and taking all their food from either bottle or breast.
