Baby John has been doing great these past few days. He hasn’t been holding his breath much at all while eating and his heart-rate has been much more stable. On Friday John was put on a monitoring device that records his heart-rate and breathing. He will be on this monitor until 1:00PM on Monday to determine how well he has progressed, if he’s ready to come home, and more importantly if he will need to be prescribed caffeine. All signs point to him coming home on Monday and the nurses and doctors have been pretty confident in telling us this.

A few days ago John had developed a yeast infection on his tongue but he has been getting antibiotic cream every 8 hours and it’s clearing up very quickly. His jaundice has cleared up completely and he’s looking less and less like an alien each day!
