Better days

Caleb is doing better with his O2 sats, although he still has a little tummy troubles. He was awake for nearly 8 hours yesterday because every time he'd try to sleep he'd get gassy, which would make him uncomfortable.

They took out his IV line in his hand (aka his toy) because it was no longer working and got yucky. His belly button scab is gone now--the nurse knocked it off when she removed his belly IV the other day.

His little blue eyes are open and looking around most of the time I am there. He took two full bottles by mouth, and only had to have a little bit thru his feeding tube. They don't push him to eat because it's exercise for babies, and hard on heart kids, but they want him used to feeding on a bottle so it won't be quite as hard to go back to it after being on the vent.

He is a little snuffly, and they have to vacuum the boogers out of his nose... you should see him fight that one. Oh how he hates it. He can turn purple and angry in 2 seconds, and those arms and legs kick at the nurses... but he's pretty good about calming right down.

I hear this a lot: "Wow, he's got some great lungs!"
