Truitt was upgraded to a ‘crib’ today! He has been able to maintain his temp with just blankets and things, so they ditched the massive isolette, and brought in a crib with a warmer above it just in case. Then […]
Today Truitt was taken off of oxygen completely! No more cannula! Little by little we are losing cords and tubes! He looks much more comfortable, and it is so much easier to maneuver him and feed him without trying to […]
Happy two week birthday Truitt! I (Leisel) am slowly realizing how bleak the expectations for Truitt were at the time of his birth. Maybe I am just naive and optimistic (I believe it’s just God’s grace towards me!), but the […]
Bright and early this morning, Leisel got to the hospital so she could see them change the dressing on Truitt’s feet, and we are so glad she did! His little feet are pink all over! They still have some swelling, […]

Today was another good day for Truitt. His feeding levels were increased, and he was able to come off of the CPAP completely and is just using the cannula with high flow therapy. His head can now move around more […]

Truitt had another good day today! Two lengthy snuggle times with mommy, and multiple turning downs of his ventilator! They are hoping to remove the breathing tube from his throat tomorrow and put him on a cannula (nose prongs) tomorrow. […]
The doctor delivered us more good news this morning! Truitt was tolerating the new ventilator and feedings so well, that they turned down his ventilator just a little, and increased his feedings. This is progress! The increased feedings means increased […]
Today was a really big day for little Truitt. It started off with his doctor waking us up with wonderful news. Truitt had made a lot of progress with his oxygen levels, and had been moved to a new ventilator! This […]
