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??
