More progress

It was another good night and day for Kelson. I got there just in time for the 9 AM feeding, and my Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Steve popped in for a short visit.

Kelson continues to do well breathing, and his lungs have been sounding great, so they are avoiding doing any unnecessary x-rays or blood tests. The doctors are working on aggressively weaning his ventilator. The ventilator is set to take a certain amount of breaths, and let Kelson initiate some of the breaths on his own. They have been reducing the amount the vent takes, and today lowered it from 15/min to 10/min. Kelson didn't even seem to notice the difference. The "plan" is to lower it to 5 tomorrow, and then make an even bigger change on Saturday after an x-ray. Hopefully Kelson follows the "plan"

Kelson also had a routine eye exam today. I had to leave for work, but Krista said he was a pretty good patient, and apparently he passed.

Tomorrow Claire and I are heading to a cattle show in the morning, and to visit Kelson in the afternoon. If everything goes well, we could have some major changes this weekend as things continue to progress!
