Today was a different kind of Sunday for our family. As you know Sunday usually consists of hanging around your room and watching that blurry box above your sink while mommy and daddy cheer for our favorite teams. Well today we started out pretty normal. Mommy and daddy were hanging out with you and you were looking especially cute.
Mommy and daddy had planned to go up to Grandma and Grandpa's to pick up a few things when daddy had an idea. Daddy suggested we go see a movie while we were out. Now you don't yet know what a movie is but it's basically watching people on a much less blurry, much much bigger screen than the one in your room. Daddy loves movies and mommy has been getting a little stir crazy so it sounded like just what we needed.
Being the cooperative little angel you are, you fell asleep just as mommy and daddy were leaving and according to your nurse slept most of the afternoon while we were gone. Aside from going out for a quick dinner or sleeping, today was the first time both mommy and daddy had left you at the same time in 7 weeks. At first we both felt pretty bad about it but then you reminded us what a big boy you were and that you could handle it. I don't know when we will stop treating you like a baby, ha ha.
While mommy and daddy were out you did some big boy work and practiced your breathing most of the day. You did awesome and it sounds like attempt number two for removing the breathing tube may be sooner rather than later. The doctors are chomping at the bit to pull that yucky thing again but the nurses were a little less anxious to discuss it today because you were extra snotty. For a little guy you sure can blow a crazy amount of snot out of that cute nose and slobber a bunch out of that sweet mouth. To appease the nurses the doctors agreed to check and make sure you don't have an infection again before they pull that tube so we'll wait for those results tomorrow.
So although we didn't watch a lot of football today we had some fun play time early this morning and a bunch more when mommy and daddy got back tonight. Mommy had a long talk with you about all the little friends you have waiting to play with you. You seemed pretty excited about meeting them. Now you are sound asleep and we are winding down too. Mommy is going to have another quick talk with God about helping to get your little lungs ready and trusting that the doctors know when that is. Thanks for being such a good boy today and letting mommy and daddy go out for a while. Sweet dreams of all the fun you are going to have playing with your friends before long.
