Took the big camera to the hospital today!

AM Check-in:
-Called this morning before church and Wendy said he was doing well
-3 pounds 3 ounces
-Rate still at 25 and oxygen at 35%
-They had to give him another IV (this is the third one in two days) because he decided he wanted to kick this last one out!!!!  Really?!?!?!  He only has a couple more days of antibiotics but obviously he feels better!  :)

Evening Visit:
-The three of us went up after dinner and visited for a little bit.  Ainsley got to feed him a little "sucker" which she thought was very funny.  (It was actually a big Q-tip like swab that was dipped in something (don't remember the name of the stuff) that babies liked to suck on and helped them learn to suck for bottle time)
-They are only measuring his head circumference once a week on Mondays now.
-They had his rate down to 15!!!! PRAISE!!! Whoo Hoo!  Trying to get him ready to try and come off the ventilator again.  I imagine they will try again in the next few days.  PRAYER---Please pray that he does better with this attempt.  He may not be able to stay off of it for good but the time he can spend off of it is really good for him!  He needs to learn to be a big boy! ;)  Of course, I keep thinking they are going to call me one day and say he pulled the cord out on his own!  He is always playing with it.
-His nurse had him all swaddled tonight and he seemed to like it.  He was very awake when we got there...he just looked so sweet.  :)

Putting up lots of pictures tonight!  Thank you for all your prayers.  We have so much to be thankful for, there are so many blessings in our lives, there are so many miracles we see on a daily basis---I am just so humbled.  We have a very loving God and I am in such awe of the work He does.  AMAZING!!!
