Happy July 4th everyone! And a happy, happy birthday to our dear boy. He's 5 months old today! It has been an incredible 5 months. I was looking back at some old pictures today and it truly blows my mind when I see how far he has come. Monika and Helmut, I think of your first visit with him...you won't believe how much he's grown. When our computer at home is up and running I will post a picture of his early days along with a current one so you can all see.
He's having a fairly good day today although he did have another little "spell" this morning. I think they will do a bronchoscopy on Wednesday just to make sure his airway looks okay. So far the general consensus seems to be his lung disease.
While five months feels like it has been a loooong, looong time, and it has been, there is longer. There is a family in our unit who just celebrated their baby's first birthday. There are so many stories in the NICU here as there are in NICUs everywhere. I am so thankful for the amazing nurses that we have here (and that we had at RWJ). They really do so much to keep us going. I am lectured on a daily basis about eating, sleeping, etc. They genuinely care about the families and babies that they take care of.

One day, we'll remind our Dinky that he spent his first Independence Day in Philly. And, we'll all be happier when
he can declare his very own independence from these worrisome little spells and glitches that hold him captive still.
All in all, I feel you are all three in a good place--and I mean that in more ways than just physical! love...

Sorry to have been absent for a few days, computer still in the shop. A great BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our not-so-little-anymore Eddie and belated Happy 4th to you and Martin. I look at my Dinky mouse-pad every day, even without my computer.
It was great to be with you all last weekend. Can't wait for more pictures. Much love,
Pa
