Tuesday night, 2/22
For those of you that know my mom you've no doubt heard her famous sigh. Insert that sigh here. I love this blog and love that so many of you are rooting for our little boy and I feel like you love him like we do. That being said I have to tell you that sometimes writing this blog is just plain hard. Unfortunately today is one of those days. Little Dinky is not having a good day. Over the past few days I have written about his continued episodes of brady and desats which have continued today. His blood gases continue to be poor so they are switching him back to the oscillating ventilator that he was on 2 days after he was born for one day. This ventilator "uses very small puffs of air delivered rapidly to oxygenate the blood without requiring full inhalations and exhalations". In the meantime he is being "worked up" for various infections. That being said he seemed quite comfortable today. He slept most of the time that I was there and when he wasn't sleeping he just stared up at me with his crinkly forehead and big, brown eyes. Since all this happened everyone has prepared us for the "roller coaster". Since the surgery this has been our biggest downward hill and we're ready to head back up. We thank you all again for your thoughts, prayers, and love.

I am sorry that the hill seems so steep right now. You and Martin are incredible--and so is wee Dinky. I am so very much in awe of all the love and care being offered so sincerely to you three by your supporters from all over. And those are only the ones you know of. Many, many of my students ask daily about our baby and tell me of their prayers for all of you. Dinky's and your family is huge. Wrap yourself in those gifts and hold tightly to each other. Love...
Jen and Martin,
I agree with Carol. This is Dinky's sweet little self adjusting to being "on the outside." Not that that fact makes dealing with the rollercoaster any easier. I will be here with you on top of the highest highs and in the crushing pit of the lowest lows. I love you! ((((DINKY)))) (((JEN)))) (((MARTIN)))

Hey Pooh, Martin and Spunky,
Not a moment goes by that we are not there in spirit and thoughts and with love. Hang in there and remember for every down on a roller coaster, there is an up soon to follow. We love you.

Here's hoping that today is a better day for our sweet Dinky. Jen & Martin, we are always thinking of you guys & we are certainly cheering on our little fighter.
It just dawned on me: I think he may have started this latest commotion just so he could avoid having Martin change his diaper!! (Just kidding)
Love to you all. Sue
