Today we are taking a much needed break from the ICU to spend time with Connor. Grandma and Grandpa Holmes are joining us for a trip to the Inianapolis Zoo. The weather is perfect for a zoo trip. We even arrived in time to get tickets to the dolphin show. Connor was a huge fan of the dolphins! He clapped, squeeled and smiled so big while watching them jump and splash.
After lunch, we went back over to see Tyler while Connor napped. He was also napping really well. He had a sponge bath for the first time! All other "baths" have just been with wipes. It is great that he is doing well enough for a sponge bath. The nurse said he did not enjoy it at all. His hair is a redish blonde now, much like Connor's was when he was born.
One of two remaining heart medicines was stopped today! Way to go Tyler one more to go! His nitric is completely done now too. The ventilator has been lowered way down and we are working on getting him to do some of the work so we can get that out. The bed warmer was also turned off and he is very bundled in blankets because he is still not sure how to keep his temperature up. Overall, it feels like he has turned a corner today as the amount of support and medications continues to go down and not up.
