Baby Dale was taken off the respirator last night and has been breathing perfectly on his own since. Today they removed his catheter and took him off all his antibiotics as he has no signs of infection. When I arrived at the hospital at noon he was doing so well that they let me hold him all afternoon. It felt so good to hold my sweet baby boy again!
Nurse Amy told me that she heard noises in his intestines, an indication that things are beginning to heal. We are cautiously optimistic about his recovery and thank everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers.
Little Dale will meet his papa, auntie Linda, auntie cousin Janna, and cousins Toni and Jacqueline next week, as they are all coming from Alberta to visit the newest addition to our family. I am looking forward to introducing papa Dale Butterwick to his newest grandson and name sake. I'd say that little Dale is well on is way to being a tough cowboy just like his papa!
