Steady as he goes

Today I got to hold him for the first time in two weeks and two days. yeah. he seemed content and he had that look he has when he's asleep on my lap -- the look that says 'you are mine and i am sleeping here'. a look i happen to love very much.

And he even opened his eyes a little today! I wonder if he could see me. or i looked blurry. or what... he was flailing his arms some, too. the nurse said he was pulling at his tubing and such. I've always loved that kid's vim and vigor.

They swapped ventillators today. I asked the RT technician what the differences were. She said, "This new one has a computer on it. It can display an overall trend. It has some features the other one doesn't have. It's different. It has a different flow. It's just a different ventillator." Ok...

Not much to report. The doc has a hunch isaac'll be off the ventillator sometime next week.

We are very much enjoying the steady progress. Go Isaac!! Rooting for ya.
