Colton is doing better today so far than yesterday. He made some good steps last night and is completely off the Lasix now again and still peeing. He is still on Dopamine for his blood pressure but they have weaned down more than 1/2 of where they started. He is still doing relatively well on his vent settings.
Donny went to visit last night and found out that Colton has grown (finally) and is now 3 lbs. 5 oz. So we are making small strides there. The big goal now is to fatten that boy up! They have started giving him another calorie fortifier which so far he is tolerating. They still don't have him back up to full feed volume but it is important to make sure he can handle the fortifier first.
We'll update again soon!

3.5 pounds! That is fantastic! I am so happy for all of you.
The pictures from the walk are great! Thank you for allowing our family to be apart of yours that day. In regards to Colton's head iv's think of it as his Halloween costume. He was just trying to scare mom & dad for Halloween, now he deserves some candy for all trick & treating. You are both doing a great job as parents and we are always rooting for Colton in our household :->
