[Onebrother] Eiler update

[Keenan]

This morning Eiler was taken off oxygen and he did really great until one of his breathing treatments and he was put back on it.  It seems like we have been playing a game with the oxygen as we have done this twice.  It looks like he will be going to bed with it on. He is still having retractions while breathing (where chest goes in while breathing instead of out), which shows that he is struggling a bit with each breath.  He has been eating a little better, but still has a ways to go to reach his normal intake.   Even though he still has a little ways to go to get back to his usual self, we are definitely seeing an improvement in him.  
There are so many things we have to be grateful for despite the circumstances in which they came.  The hospital staff here has been wonderful to us and Eiler, and the doctors have been doing a very good job.
We are very grateful that my parents were traveling with us when all of this happened...good for both support and helping with Pommer. We couldn't do this without them around.  We are seeing God's hand in the whole situation and we appreciate all your prayers!
