First Bath...

...well, first bath by mom anyway. He's bathed on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Pretty good day, but he's had four bradycardias. That's when the heart rate drops. It's kind of scary with the alarm going off and getting him to breath correctly. We're just clinging to what the docs and nurses have been telling us, that this is to be expected at this age. Another factor is that they have taken him off of the nasal canula. He's seems to be doing pretty good to be breathing on his own.

We varied our visiting schedule on the weekends, otherwise it gets to be too much. During the week, Kristina goes down there between 9 and 10 AM and then I stop by at lunchtime for a while. Kristina comes home in the afternoons at the 230 shiftchange, then we both go back at night after the 630 to 730 shiftchange and stay until 10 or 1030. Today we spent most of the late morning and afternoon there. Tomorrow we're planning to go to church and then will go see him immediately after grabbing a quick lunch.

O.k., o.k. here's the pics...

"Gee, Dad, could you cut it out with the flashy thing!?!"












"Woohoo! Mom, that's kind of cooooold."
