Hilton is having another good day. His jaundice light is being removed today and he has been moved to an isolette bed. He is increasing his feeding intake to 13 ml from 10 ml yesterday and they are decreasing his IV fluids. His oxygen level is also being decreased from 1.5ml to 1.0 ml today.We got to spend some time with him last night with his eyes open. He just kept looking at our faces and listening to us talk to him. It was so sweet! He is making such huge improvements everyday. We did have a rough night on another front, though. My grandfather was life flighted from Magnolia hospital last night for a suspected heart attack. It does appear that he did not have a heart attack, but likely has a pulmonary embolism. He is at the Heart Hospital and they are doing tests on him this morning to make a definitive diagnosis. He is scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday at Baptist for an aneurysm in his brain. Please keep him in your prayers as well. We are so thankful for Hilton's progress and to all of you for all of your prayers. Without them, he may not being doing as well as he is.
