Mark is off the quiet ventilator and being held!

Penny and the nurse untangle Mark from the wires. They swaddle him. He cries, hoarsely; Penny holds him for the first time in ten days!

He is in my prayers.

How is he doing these days?

[vpiercy]

He's doing great. Thanks for asking. We worry now about every time he wheezes or seems to have trouble breathing. He's got a heart murmur we're keeping an eye on with his doctors. I'm going to post some of his more recent videos soon. As soon as I can get a reasonable encoder.

It is so wonderful to see him off the ventilator and Nitrous Oxide.

[vpiercy]

Thanks, you are right. He's doing good these days. I have some gray hairs now though after the scary time of him being in the hospital.

What was the alarm at the beginning for?

[1992peter]

Well, I felt bad for him seeing him on the High Frequency Oscillating Ventilator.

I mean, It's not very easy to see a little baby's body vibrating to a machine.

And between me and you, The machine is VERY VERY LOUD.

GOD BLESS YOUR BABY.

Was he just a preemie?

[voyceoflil]

Mine too had PPHN, and fought her way through it. I remember not getting to hold my baby either, and all those wires. Bless his heart! Will keep him in my prayers. She is doing fine now.
