So, today is also a really good day. Davis is doing great and the doctors think that it is time to try to ween him off of the jet vent and go to the traditional ventilator. They think they can do this because the "pressure" that the jet is on can be achieved by the regular ventilator so his chest will be moving in a normal up and down way instead of jiggling 420 times a minute. This is only a plan right now.... If he is able to come off of the jet then he can come off of the paralytic drug and he may be moving in his bed soon. He is also being weened off of his second blood pressure medicine, epinephrine. If he can achieve all of this smoothly he can go to surgery. We are still looking at a long road but at least we can see it now.........
Thank you all so very much for your comments and prayers. We love and miss our friends and family and can't wait to bring our son home to heal.

P.S. this is a photo of Davis' little corner of his room. It is like a jungle of healing.

YES!! My indian happy dance is working. It took us WEEKS to get to the point where they were talking about weening the vents, so hopefully you guys will be on your way to surgery in no time! Hopefully you aren't hearing ECMO mentioned anymore then?
i love you guys. i wish i was there just to give you both a hug and a smile.

Davis, you are already mystifying the professionals and beating all odds. May all the love, well-wishes and best hopes being sent your way spur you on even more. Know that you are making your destiny early.
