mommy tells me you're doing really well today.
around 8:50 this morning your mommy and daddy were told you would be needing a blood transfusion because your heart rate was a bit too fast and they needed to stabilize it. they just finished with the transfusion and say you're responding well. they also just took the central line out (the one in your neck). one more iv to go (the arterial line) and you'll be free to move out of the NICU and up to the third floor. i hope this is where i'll see you tonight!
mommy says you're eating really well and you're no longer being given morphine, just lortab now. you're eating so well in fact, there's no need to pump your formula with more calories which means your back on a normal diet and maybe soon you'll get some chubby cheeks.
she also says you're talking a little bit but in a groggy sort of way. the nurses promise her she'll be able to hold you much sooner than later. she sounded pretty excited over the fact that your blood type is o+ just like hers. most people go on and on about how much you are like your dad. us moms need someway to take credit for our dear children. looks like sharing a blood type will be her credit until your hair turns blonde or until you show less signs of hyper activity. teehee.

Hey sweet boy. My boy was in hospital when he was 9 months old. My other boy was in hospital when he was 3 months old. They're very big now. One's 11 and the other's nearly 16.
Tonight, one was building stuff in the garage with a jigsaw. The other is handing out with his friends. I was very glad when I could take them home.
I tell you all this to pull your sights up to the horizon. The tubes and machines and lights won't be there forever. And you're in very good hands and loved from around the world.
