little man

conley is doing well. he has been staying pretty stable on most accounts. the things that are of concern are that his belly seems to be getting quite full of air (a pretty common problem with being on the oxygen bubbler), and that he's been needing a little bit more oxygen content and pressure. this could be a sign of him getting a little tired. the part that makes it tough is that his nose is also irritated again and so that could be giving him a hard time, however, the catch-22 is that with such problems, his settings need to go up and the docs certainly rule out just putting him on oxygen (without the bubbler giving him pressure). a tough thing. he is doing well, however. the doctor tonight said that he is hoping to see conley on the bubbler for only a few more days, then on to just oxygen. let's pray that happens, that his nose doesn't swell up between now and then, that his stamina grows, and that his belly vents out all that air (we all know how good that can feel when things finally move on out :) thanks so much for your prayers. bethany has been told she should get to hold him(!) tomorrow night. one day at a time.
