One Month Old

Joey is one month old today. Happy birthday to Joey!! As a birthday present, he's getting a muscle biopsy this morning (they need a 1cm square chunk...yikes). Also, Joey had a little bit of a rough afternoon yesterday, he had to be extubated and reintubated around 4:30 because he was getting too gunky in his lungs. They also swabbed him for infections like pneumonia and RSV so we're hoping all of those come back negative. He just seemed to need a little more time to adjust to the changes made in his respiratory treatments and he let us know like he always does, so we're just trying to give him the time he needs. Keep praying for Joey to move his arms and legs like he should, to be able to breathe on his own without the vent, and to come home. Thanks again for the prayers and please keep it up.
