Keep the prayers coming, it seems to be working! There have been very small improvements. For one, Connor is off the breathing machine and breathing on his own!! The other thing is, he had a permanent feeding tube inserted and he is tolerating the tube and little feedings through it well. And the most exciting thing, when Dorit, his mom, was there this morning, he moaned twice! She said that counts as vocalization and is a huge step forward. Dorit is at the hospital during the nights, and her husband Matt stays during the days. She has to make sure their other kids are taken care of too.
Arrangements are being made now to transfer Connor to the Children's Hospital in Denver, which is one of the best in the Nation. The doctor there told Dorit they have all kinds of different treatments they can try.
Oh, and Connor was also wheeled around the ward in a buggy yesterday, to try and stimulate his brain. It was such a cute picture of him in that buggy!
Anyway, keep them coming, there is hope!

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
