Successful C Papps

Today was another day in the right direction.  He successfully came off the nitric oxide overnight.  He was very negative in fluid loss yesterday and today.  He still has a lot more to go, but his nose and ears are at least visible now!  His abdominal area is still very large.  His blood pressure went up so they added nipride which successfully stabilized it. He did c Papp trials and was successful in all.  These are exercises that get him ready, and test if he's ready, for extubation from the ventilator.  Goal is to get him off it in the morning.  Glenn babies really need to get off it soon because their passive blood flow does better.  Prayers for successful extubation.
I think he should be earning points / dollars towards school tuition through all of this (kind of like "Hilton points")!
