Good news. He's off the ventilator, and breathing room air. Pneumothorax has resolved. We started him on milk, and we're decreasing the amount of IV nutrition. So it looks like he'll be home in about a week or so.
I forgot to tell you some details. He was born Sunday morning at 8:40, after keeping Julie up all night. He's 5 pounds, 4.6 ounces (2410 grams), and I think 19 inches long. After starting out OK on Sunday, his little lungs just were not ready to keep it up, so he was then moved to the bigger hospital at 3 a.m. Monday.
