I am keeping all of them in my prayers. Technology is AMAZING and please keep visiting the little guy... Touch him as often as possible, talk to him... He needs the stimulation if the hospital allows it.
My second child, who is now 15, was Hyaline Membrane Disease/Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He spent 13 days in NICU, taken from the hospital I was in about 12 hours after he was born.
I did not know what was wrong and was told very little as the hospitals were over and hour apart.
When I was released from the hospital, my son was delivered by C-section, I went straight up to see Tim, I was only able to touch him while he layed in his little bed. I would kiss his feet and watch his heart monitor change rapidly. It would set alarms off. At first I thought that was a bad thing, never seeing it before being all knew to me, but the nurse told me that it was good. I was stimulating him and he needed that. He was learning my touch. He was sedated during all of this.
However, my son, did NOT have a hole in his chest, so that is something different. I would check before getting this little guy going.
I do know that all of the baby's in the NICU were needing the touch of others, parents, "rockers", etc.
Stay strong and know that baby's can hear you.
You all are being prayed for and please let your nephew and his wife know that there are many pulling for them and their little man! He will grow to be a fighter just like my "not so little" man!
