Exciting week!

Bath Time:



Daddy Feeding Jack:



The room we stayed in at Children's:

This week has been full of excitement! Jack came home on Thursday afternoon and it has been great. The first day it was a little unreal. I would walk by the pack and play and it almost surprised me that there was a baby in it. Jack is such a sweet baby. He doesn't cry- just squeals every once in a while. He eats great and sleeps even better. Last night was the first time he woke up before his feeding time and asked to be fed. He was awake at 1:45 and feeding time is at 2. After he ate, Jack was back to sleep! He had his first bath at home today and now he smells like a sweet baby boy! I love baby smell! Lily doesn't really pay much attention to Jack. She only smells him every once in a while and then loses interest. Snuggling is so nice but sleep deprivation is not!

Last night around 3:30 we got a call from James (Luke's buddy/nurse) saying that Luke pulled his breathing tube partially out! James told me that he did okay and that the doctors wanted to try him off the ventilator!! He was on 3liters of oxygen and doing good! They did a blood gas once he had been off the vent for a while and it was still good! Mom came and watched Jack today while I went to go see Luke. Ken was working and I was anxious to go see him. He looked very good and was still doing good on the oxygen. I am so proud of my boys!

Prayer:
Luke--that he can continue to do good off the ventilator and doesn't get worn out! Also that he keeps progressing and can come home soon.
Jack--that he continues to grow and can get off the oxygen soon
Ken and I--that we can endure the sleep deprivation and remain healthy.

Going to test out our new camera and see how the video does online!
