Elijah is doing very well today. He began 2 hour stints on his back and is tolerating them very well. He has been awake a good portion of the day and enjoys his mobile. The plan at this point is to continue to give him time to grow and respond to being off the vent. He is coughing and swallowing better than he was yesterday and we seem to be moving in the right direction. No surgery until he has a chance to do this on his own. As long as he continues to do well, we will give him a chance to grow. We spoke w/ the cardiologist today and there are no plans to do anything at this point. They are fairly sure he will eventually have to have surgery, but we are looking at months down the road. He has an inlet VSD that will likely not close on its own, so he will have to be repaired. But we will cross that bridge when we get there. For now, we continue to give him time to get stronger. Eventually we will begin oral feeding and more work in that area. For now, continue to pray he grows stronger and his esophagus cartilage gets stronger and stronger.
God Bless...

Hey guys, i know that you all don't know me but I am Heather's sister and I just wanted to let you all know that you all are in my prayers. My daughter had some health issues as well and had to have surgery at 8 and a half months old and had a g-tube for nearly 11 months. Luckily, her health problems were limited to the stomach so I can only imagine what you all must be going through. I will keep you all in my prayers. I wish the best to you all. God Bless!!!
