Not a lot to report...and happy about it!

Today was a fine day for Mr P. Just hanging out and nothing too huge to report on. He is tolerating his feeds and so they doubled them today.The started him on the the theophylline today and ended the antibiotics. The last of his umbilical cord fell off today, he is just looking so big! As of sunday he was 20 inches and 7 lbs 6 oz. Still breathing well above the vent, lets hope that continues! He was so wide awake today. Koen came with me and I think it was kinda fun for him to see Pierce so alert. He keep saying 'hey buddy" and rubbing his head and "no no dont grab that tube little guy" I love seeing little kids interact with babies He kept grabbing the breathing tube, his NJ tube and gagging. I think he wants that thing out. . So cute! We also ran in to Nana Joan while we were there. Pierce looked right over to her when he heard her talking. He is gonna have some Nana Joan withdrawls when he comes home! :)

Alisha, I have been reading your posts over and over and it is hard to believe it is real. My heart is breaking with yours every time I read about your sweet boy and how you are watching him struggle. Honestly, as a nurse I can't believe modern medicine is failing you...I am overwhelmed with love and concern for you and your family. Please let me know how I can help! We are praying for this little guy. You are so brave to share your feelings and so strong to live through this everyday. Thank you for sharing that with me.

Yesterday's email reports from Nana were the perfect bday present! I was so happy to read about the lack of things to report! Koen is serisouly so sweet. I can totally picture him doing and saying those things. Love him. YOU LOOK FAB! The pic of you 3 is great. Your hair, face, everything. Miss you.

Love that Koen was able to go see him! They wouldn't let any little kids in the St. Mark's NICU. Little P is lookin' great! Hopefully it means he's close to doing things on his own if he wants his tubes out!
