Progress...

It's been a good couple of days. Yesterday was a calmer day, Mitchell showed continued signs of improvement, and they even took him off the respirator. That is very encouraging, as it shows some strength in him. It's meant some more labored breathing, which is hard to watch at times, but it's also great to see his oxygen levels maintaining 80+, even without the respirator. With the respirator gone, it's also allowed Mitch to wake up some, be a little more active, and even muster the occasional cry. We never knew how good a crying baby would sound.
Today, we had a good visit with our parents, even got out for lunch... it was good to get out in the sunshine. Were looking forward to going to church tomorrow and a visit from our church elders tomorrow afternoon.
Please continue to pray for us, the days are up and down emotionally. Although Mitch is doing well, today he had an urgent EKG done to moniter a change in his heart beat. These kind of things are exhausting.
