When Landon was born, on April 20th, 2009, his small intestine had twisted and died. The doctors told us Landon would not survive. God intervened and we learned Landon could survive with a small intestine transplant. He lost his small intestine and doctors kept him alive on total intravenous nutrition for more than two years. He received a transplant on June 17th, 2011 at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. This blog records the continuing story and miracle of Landon.

Landon is beginning to wake up. His heart rate is still fluctuating. We believe that is because they are reducing the pain medicine. Blood work still looks good. They will do another blood test early in the morning. They have reduced the oxygen that they are giving him to 23% and his oxygen levels are staying up there. He is breathing on his own more and more. Maybe they can get that tube out of his mouth tomorrow. He is swollen quite a bit.
