4/21

Well just a short update today. Dawson is doing well, still no sign of infection and he is down to 21% oxygen (room quality). He was a good boy for Sarah today, and had Daddy and I cracking up. He was making all sorts of faces, yawning and even sucking on his feeding tube, which makes him look like he is chewing gum. He is getting closer to opening his eyes, we thought for sure they were going to pop open today when he yawned they were stretched so tight. We are also sure that we got to see his crying face today. It is so sweet because the emotion is all there across his face, and the mouth is wide open, but no sound comes out (his vent tube goes btwn the vocal chords..so no sound). All in all today was great day #2.

We did see Dr. Karna today, who has sent us on a wild goose chase for some sort of crib music player that doesn't cost a fortune, since that is very soothing for the babies, and that way he can hear something other than the vent for the next 3.5-4 months.

We also got his footprints back today, only to find out that his delivering Dr. did not sign the birth record, so we have to go get that signed at his office in Dewitt as well. Another goose chase.

No pictures today...Daddy forgot the camera...OOPS!
