Ahh how I wish I could top yesterday's blog. Today was a good day in the grand scheme of things but not the amazing day we had yesterday. They are trying to wean Dinky off his morphine which runs continuously. Unfortunately he has been on either morphine or fentanyl most of his little life so it's difficult for him when they wean. Today he has been pretty fidgety and his heartrate has been really high. They bumped him up just a little and will try and go slower. It's difficult to watch and my wrist is sore from all the butt patting I've been doing today! The good news is he is up to "full feeds" and is back on his c-pap settings on the ventilator so all in all he's doing great! I didn't hold him today because he was obviously uncomfortable, but hopefully tomorrow we'll both get the chance to do it again!

I wish you were "floating" again today as you were yesterday, but I'm glad the pace at least continues--sort of like being on a treadmill where it's harder to see what progress you are making. After all our little fellow's been subjected to, I predict he will grow up to be a man of great patience and humility, characteristics he learned from his early experiences and from the examples set by his loving and giving parents. love...
