The last couple of days have been good. We are still working on a routine with him, and he seems to be taking well to it. He is usually a little off every day, but we stay within a somewhat loose routine. We are still trying to add in a few feedings by bottle every time that he is eating. Yesterday he took almost 10cc! He didn't suck hardly at all, but he took it none the less. Today he has only taken 3cc. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason to the difference, he just doesn't feel like trying.

Dad went back to work today. The day with mom and Memphis alone went well. It's definitely a handful with all of the monitors, but you do eventually get used to it. The house was much quieter today without dad, but Rowan and Braden make up for it being too quiet when they get home.

We want to send out a big THANK YOU to Memphis' cheering section. He did truly make a wonderfully quick recovery. One of his favorite nurses mentioned that with all of the time that we spent on the ECMO pump and how sick he was in the beginning, he is doing remarkably well. Once again, Thank You!

Now its on to the tedious work of physical therapy and occupational therapy. That is our next  big venture. Wish us luck!

We will keep you updated.
