It's not exactly in keeping with the Thanksgiving spirit, but it's what's best for him: They've decreased Will's feedings to 2cc every 8 hours. He has a lot of fluid build-up because of his recent lung troubles, and until he gets rid of it, they want to ease up on his milk schedule. It sounds like a short-term thing, so maybe he'll be able to feast again soon. Otherwise, he's doing pretty well on the dexamethasone. His oxygen saturations are bettter today, and he seems more stable. One of the doctors went so far as to say he thought Will was going to have a good day today. We don't hear that often enough.
