Progress, progress!

Another great day! It's kinda scary to say that, but it's the truth. Like the rest of the presidents he woke up too yellow so was on a billi light first thing this morning. The X-ray this morning looked good. I went to my room for just a min to eat something with the pain meds so I didn't make myself sick. Jumped in the shower quick and was heading back to mr.p in record time. (15 min!!)
As I was walking back to see him and get any updated info on the X-ray one of mr.p's nurses sent me back to my room. They were about to take out the chest tube and would come and get me when they were done. That was pretty close to, if not the longest hour of my life. I ate an apple, texted a few people, started a baby blanket, checked my email 100 times. Finally the phone rang and they told me to come down to mr.p's room. Woohoo! No more chest tube!! Just a bandage where it use to be. My baby was holdable again. And that's the first thing I did. The nurses insisted on changing his bedding so I sat in the chair rocked and cuddled my baby while they cleaned up his bed and changed the sheet, and built his little nest. Then we fed him and I snuggled him some more.
After a while of cuddling I had to put him back on the light and I had to clean my things out of the family stay room. I went to lunch came back and stared at my beautiful baby boy some more. Changed one of those fun black tar-like diapers. Yeah for bowel movements! Held him fed him and cuddled him some more! They lowered his iv assistance and now it's just building up his strength. 5:00 chest X-ray was strong and beautiful!
All and all it's been a great day! Thanks to those who came to visit, and texted today.
Thank you for your prayers!
