Rockin' Recovery on the Summit

Solomon is resting and recovering.

He has been sleeping all day.  He had a chest x-ray and an echo and both showed that the plug is in the right position, fits well and is doing its job.

Solomon kept trying to open his eyes today but he is pretty puffy and could only muster up some squinting before he'd fall back asleep.  The ophthalmologist will be back tomorrow to examine his eyes.

Solomon is back on his full feeds tonight after a day of half feeds.  Over night they plan to give him some steroids to get him ready to be extubated early tomorrow morning.  I'm sure he will be glad to get the cannula back instead of having this tube in his mouth.... so he can get back to enjoying his purple pacifier!
