This is how we left Seven last night. Seven did great all night and great all day. We took him off the low flow and put him on a cannula with oxygen (without the pressure.) His oxygenated blood level remained the same. Jarrad and I think he'll do just fine without the oxygen at all, but we want to go slowly with Seven. The big excitement for me was that I got him to giggle! And then I got sad for a second thinking about how it had been 3 weeks since he giggled. That's just not right. I didn't even know it was humanly possible for anyone to go without smiling and laughing for that long. Better late than never though! We are still on IV antibiotics and still doing breathing treatments. We have an EEG planned for tomorrow. We're looking good... Thanks again everyone for your prayers and happy thoughts. It seems to be working!
Right after I took this picture, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Daddy does it to him every time.
I have to call our day nurse out on something. I'm not going to name names, but Daniella put a special kind of tape on Seven's face to hold down his nasal cannula. To give her a little credit, the tape is made to save his sensitive little face from all the wear and tear. However, the top of the tape has little black lines on it that were right in his line of vision. We now know Seven can see at least a little. He was apparently displeased. It was a strange mix of pathetically sad and yet still funny. I had to make a video of it. See how it plays out...
