Day 3 Big Day!!

I'm so VERY exhausted, but didn't want to end our day without first updating everyone on how great today was for Bubbas!  Here was how the day went {in pictures}...

He decided to start waking up without screaming, twisting, and flying out of the bed around 2:30am for about an hour at a time every four hours.  By the morning, he was staying awake for a few hours at a time...still no smiles though.  As you can see, he HATES the Oxygen blowing in his nose, but can't seem to keep his oxygen levels up high enough to do without it. 

At 9:30am, he FINALLY got to drink some breastmilk!!!  Yay!!!!  He's getting 2oz every four hours.  I'm hoping that by tomorrow afternoon we are allowed to actually breastfeed!

Holding Daddy's healing hands

Awake, and we can't seem to take our hands off of him!

One of the test tubes and the arterial catheter come out!  (This is our nurse, and his surgeon in the photo)


Time for another chest xray

Special Visit from Gramma and big brother and sisters  :)


Ooooh, things are looking brighter!  Letting that sunlight shine in his room!

And the BEST moment of MY day!  My baby back in my arms for the first time in 56 hours!


He moves from the gurney to a big boy bed, where we can lie down next to him!  (That's where I'm sleeping tonight too)

More special visitors, Lupita and Anna, kept ME sane tonight by staying for awhile and just "hanging out" in the room with us
