conley was able to be weaned twice today on his respirator settings. the nurse said he had a good day, and hopefully is DeltaP # (whatever that means) on his blood gas report comes down far enough in the next day or so for him to be put back on a conventional respirator (yesterday it was 14, today 12.5, 9 is the goal). that's awesome. plus, she weighed him today. he was weighed four days ago and came in at 1lb. 10oz. (up from 1lb. 8oz. @ birth). today, he weighed in at..... 1lb. 12oz. he's basically a giant. i've been secretly slipping him whey protein and GNC weight-gainers fuel.
with regard to percentage, that would be similar to me gaining 25lbs. in 2 and a half weeks. i'd say that's good progress for our man. thanks for your prayers. please continue to pray his belly digests his food more effectively. they're feeding him continuously at 1CC/hour. one day at a time.

Ty, nice move with the whey protein and weight gain stuff! I don't even know what whey is, but nice move! Maybe try to slip Conley a cheeseburger from time to time, he'll bulk up pretty quick, ask me how I know!
I enjoy reading your blog and seeing the pictures, guys. Ty, Beth, I'm still praying for you all the time. Conley is a fighter! (cue Rocky "Eye of the Tiger" music)
TYman, Marc Coburn and I are up in Acton (yes there is electricity and internet here), he just viewed your profile and is sending his love and prayers!
