Last night the boys were able to meet Quinn for the first time. They were really good at staying quiet and being calm. I was very proud of them. Quinn really enjoyed the visit too. When the boys would talk to him, he would look around and try to find their faces. It was very cute. Quinn has started smiling a little. It is really cute. He is certainly a beautiful guy.
The doctors think Quinn has turned the corner now. They were able to get his oxygen to around room air (21%) and bumping it up a little every once in a while, especially when he is getting handled. They are working towards getting him off his air flow (which is the pressurized air they use to help keep his lungs open.) He is doing a lot better at breathing and his lungs seem to have finally popped open a little. He started on 6ml of flow and he is down to 3ml now. They are planning to take him down 1/2 ml every 3 hours. Hopefully he will take to it well. If he does well today/tonight with bringing his flow down then they doctors think he will be able to come home Monday. I sure hope so! It will be great to have him home with us finally.
Thanks again for all the prayers. They are working wonders!
