Happy Thsnksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. This is my first Thanksgiving. I'd like to take time to thank all of you for all of your thoughts, concerns, and prayers. I'm so thankful to be home in my house with my crazy family. I'm very blessed to have a mommy and daddy that love me so much and take such good care of me. I guess this is a good Thanksgiving!

9 months old

Today I am 9 months old! That's 3/4 of a year. It's hard to believe that time is going by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday when I locked up in a box with all of these wires and tubes down my throat. Things are certainly getting better. No tubes down my throat and they are even letting me take the cannula out of my nose. I'd say that's a step in the right direction. The next challenge for me is getting rid of this darn feeding tube. It really stinks being chained to a pump for half of my day.

All and all I'm doing amazingly well. I went back for a check up at the NICU yesterday and the doctors were amazed! They said they never saw a baby with lungs as bad as mine. They thought for sure I'd need a trac and vent. But thanks to all of your prayers I'm starting to kick this oxygen addiction.

Ta ta for now.

I'm trying something new

Notice anything different? Since mommy ripped off my cannula on the way out of the car she has me trying something new. It's called room air. So far I've been doing pretty good. I made it about 2 hours. Mommy and Daddy are determined to get me to kick this oxygen addiction.

Normalcy has been restored.

After many nights of sleeping in strange small beds I am back home and warm in my big bed. Hopefully I'll have a better day tomorrow. It feels good to be home.
