This is Baby Henry

before the tube was taken out.

This is Henry

AFTER.

So tired from all the work-

Momma gets to hold her baby boy!!!
One of my goals today is to take pictures of him with his eyes open.
Usually when he is awake the last thing that I think of doing
is snapping pictures.
But I'll try to remember

Movin' on.........

So- Breathing tube is out! He is doing it all by himself. Yesterday everyone got to hold him. He looks like a little baby again. So sweet. He has grown so much here at the hospital. He almost weighs 8 lbs. Alot of it is fluid, but his swelling is 99% better than it was 2 days ago. Here in a few minutes I'm going to try and upload some pictures of him for you all to see.
Later today there is going to be a speech therapist come in and do a swallow test on him to make sure that he is ready to take a bottle. I feel like its a good sign that he is sucking on a passie- So, the plan is; today we will be bottle feeding and ALSO- moved out of the PICU to "The Floor". That's the step you take right before going home. YAY FOR US. Our deal that we have with Henry is that if he is a fighter, we will be home by Friday for his 2 week birthday PARTY! I think that he is excited and working hard toward that goal.
Thank you everyone for everything again. We cant thank you enough. When all calms down we hope to be able to give everyone a proper Thank You.
I am so so ready to have my kids together in one household. Its so hard for me to have Josie passed around and not being able to be with Henry 24/7. If I have seemed a little as I say "Wigged Out," I'm sorry. I really do appreciate your concern- I'm just home sick when I'm here, and Home Sick when I'm at home without him. So I'm sorry if you have seen an ugly side of me. I'm trying hard to control myself.
I will get on later on and let you see some pics of the sweet boy.
LOVE-
