No Oxygen!!

As of 3 am this morning, Liam is breathing room air! No more supplemental oxygen! The process started early again this morning with a chest x-ray, blood test, and the usual wellness check. All of that started at 6 am. Now that Liam is getting the junk in his lungs loose, he is having some trouble taking his bottles. The gunk in the back of his throat makes it hard for him to swallow, and he seems to be clearing his throat constantly. Obviously babies don't know to grunt to clear their throats, so they just try to swallow it. What a pain. He also had three nice poops last night, so our constipation issues have resolved themselves. All they have to do is remove the pacemaker wires that were attached to his heart during surgery as a precautionary measure to counter any arythmias that might have occurred, and one IV and his invasive medical equipment will all have been removed! Our little man has been awake and alert this morning and moving like crazy. I think he is exercising his repaired heart. Hopefully this afternoon we'll be able to post some better information about when Liam may be discharged. Friday would be a great day; it will be his two-month birthday.
