Hi!

This blog will definitely be more upbeat. Andrew is back on regular intibation. Who knew I would be so excited about intibation but it is definitely better then the oscillator. He still has been having apnea and bradys. The docs were worried it might be because of problems with his brain so they did an MRI. I'm so HAPPY to say it came back normal. That is such a huge relief. Hopefully he is having these issues just because he is a preemie and will eventually grow out of them. They think his pneumonia is cleared up too. My son is the strongest person I know and he isn't even supposed to be born yet. To think of all he has been put through is crazy. He rarely cries and tolerates all these medical people messing with him all the time really well. I'm so proud of him.

I'm doing okay without my husband here. It is hard and it gets lonely but I know time will go quickly. We do FaceTime (similar to skype) and he gets to see the baby which is comforting to both of them. Andrew recognizes his voice and always opens his eyes when he hears him.

I haven't posted pics in the last two posts because I'm on an iPad and don't think I can attach them. I will try to figure out how to post soon. Andrew is really growing and over 4lbs now.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!
