Dinky is entering the "wireless age" as one by one he gets rid of another line. He no longer has an IV, and today they took out his central line which split off into three more lines which made diaper changes quite a production. So now he only has the breathing (ET) tube and the g-tube for his feedings. He is much more portable now so I took advantage of that and held him again. We are still working through his morphine wean so he's either too agitated or too sleepy. One of the head nurses at our old hospital who is now a great friend has given us some tips on how to help him get through this (thanks, Pat!)

So all in all he's doing great! We are in a bit of a holding pattern while they decide what to do about his airway so the updates may be a bit slim. I hope that all I have to report is that he's getting happier and fatter! We want to thank you again for all of your support and prayers. You have no idea what an important role those have played in our last 15 weeks.
