The story of Tucker Ray, a 27-weeker with many diagnoses, and his baby brother, Easton John, a 34 weeker aka big brother's shadow. Here I post about the challenges and joys of working full time, caring for two rambunctious boys with my husband, and leaning on God for wisdom in the midst of the chaos.

Yay for Tucker
Tucker's rate moved down to 30 today We are so scared! The last time he was at 30, it was for a week, and we really took it for granted that he'd stay there! Then he jumped back up to 50, so we are scared. He is only requiring 24% of oxygen right now, and he is satting 95% at the moment (I'm sitting in his new, LARGE room-it is as big as his room at home!). I am just amazed-the better he is, the more we have to lose, so I'm a wreck. We got his trach culture back today-he has some bacteria growing in it, so they'll continue antibiotics for 7 more days. The doc said he should need higher support with an infection, but somehow he needs less support. Maybe he should get sick more often-just kidding!! His fever went away after the first day, so they caught it at the beginning-yay for the nurses! We'll see how he's doing-also, he weighs 11 pounds, 10 ounces, when was my preemie replaced by a monster??
