Today we learned that he was taken off his oxygen this morning and has been doing great. He has also begun to start using his sucking and swallowing muscles more and more, which is very encouraging. His therapist gave us some exercises to do with him to improve his ability. They scheduled him for some important follow testing Monday and Tuesday. Based on his results will determine if he should need surgery to implant a feeding tube into his stomach. They are also wanting for the results from his blood work which was sent to the Mayo Clinic to determine if he is suffering from any metabolic diseases. Brian and Jenny have been helping out greatly. Brian and I replaced several switched and outlets that were and not working properly. Jenny and Kodi have worked through several boxes and started to put things were they belong. As we get more results, I'll pass them along.

Thanks for the update. I am so happy to hear that he is doing better!
Brad I never got the original email, so I am just now figuring this whole thing out. I was gonna call you this weekend to see how your were doing, but I figured you had more pressing matters at hand. The pictures look great- hope to see you soon.
Hey Brad, Kodi, and Braden! Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. Curtis and I are checking your blog regularly and we are so happy to hear that things are starting to get better. We just wanted to let you know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care!
Yvonne and Curtis
He's beautiful! So glad he's making progress. Getting rid of that oxygen tube is a big deal.
But watching over him and getting the house fixed up must be keeping you really hopping.
It's great you have this blog to keep us updated.
