Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support over the last 36 hours. It's crazy to think that Breckin is just over a day and a half old. We feel like it has been several days. I guess that's what happens when you are sleep deprived and concerned about your new son. Your e-mails and comments of love, prayers and encouragement have been very appreciated. It helps us to keep going.
Breckin is making great progress today. Early today the nurses took the oxygen saturation monitor off of him, which means we aren't concerned about him holding his breath. He has made great improvements realizing he needs to breath in order to live.
He is also being weaned from his sugar IV. Last night he was at 18 ccs per hour. This morning he was at 10 ccs and it is lowered 2 ccs every three hours as long as his sugar levels are high enough. Right now he is down to 6 ccs. His blood draws came back negative, giving good indication that he doesn't have an infection. We're waiting on his blood cultures to come back tomorrow to confirm that.
We're hoping he will get to go home Friday or Saturday. Brooke and I are getting kicked out of the hospital tomorrow. I guess we could stay if we wanted to pay for it, but this is a pretty expensive hotel, so we'll go home. We just can't wait to have the little guy at home with us and Maya.
I'll post some video and pics a little later tonight. It's feeding time now.

I am so sorry that you can't take him home with you tomorrow. I know that breaks your heart. If anyone knows that plans aren't always what you expect them to be, it is us. What a special homecoming he will have this weekend! Keep your head up!
Will & Brooke,
Our Prayers are with you. God is Awesome. What a wonderful blessing Breckin is. Enjoy your new life's journey as parents every moment for it goes very quickly. Congratulations!
God Bless you,
