Hello again...

I turned two weeks old yesterday. Where does the time go? I made another small step to improve. My oxygen was completely turned off. I am breathing on my own all by myself. I know, I'm like all grown up now. I'll be looking at colleges next week. But seriously I feel better and I look better. All of the fluid I have retained is almost gone. They say the camera adds 10 pounds but for me it was just the excess fluid. You'll see how much better I look in the pictures below.

Of course my mom came to visit me again today. And of course she got to hold me. I was awake and alert while she held me too. It was awesome. She didn't get any pictures of us together today because she was holding me but I'm sure she has our picture in her mind and in her heart. :-)

I finally got to meet my big, big, big, big brother Isaac. He usually stays home and watches the other kids while my parents come to visit. He wasn't sure what to do when he came. He just kind of pet my head like a kitten. Too bad I couldn't bite his hand. Cara came with my dad tonight too. She got to hold me. She liked it until her arm went numb. I enjoyed having them here with me. I didn't bother to open my eyes for them though, that would have required too much energy. I cant believe what they did to me. Are you ready for this? They gave me a Mohawk! Or as my dad would call it a Brohawk. Whateva, as soon as they left I had the nurse fix it.

I still don't know when I'm going home yet. I'll probably transfer back to Christiana hospital before I go home but before I do that I have to figure out how to drink from a bottle. Patience people, I'll get it.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. Just because I'm doing better doesn't mean you can stop worrying about me.

My Mohawk.

                      My dad holds my hand every time he comes to see me. It's our thing.
