Off The Vent

Drake is showing good signs of recovering from his surgery. They took him off of his ventilator this morning and were concerned he would need to go back on, but Drake showed everyone he was ready to be off. He is still a little fussy (understandably), but he is definitely happier that he is off of the vent. He is now receiving continuous feeds of milk through his g-tube and every day he is one step closer in his recovery. I love how he lights up and recognizes our voices when we walk into his nursery. It was obvious in their eyes how much both he and daddy had missed each other all week.

Kennedy is enjoying being out of the hospital, and she is definitely quite spoiled here at Gran and Poppy's. She too was overjoyed to spend some time with her daddy.
