Today was a good day. Luke got his belly button tube removed, which means he'll get to start feeding soon (once the hole in his heart closes up). They also reduced the humidity and temperature in his isolette which means he's getting better at regulating his body temperature. Finally, he should only have one more day under the Bellirubin lights. All of this is leading up to the time we get to hold Luke. I CANNOT WAIT TO HOLD MY SON!
Tonight was rough for us. Jake really wanted us to stay home with him so we could play together with some Halloween stuff. He has been awesome throughout this whole ordeal and has been very accomodating. It's going to be a challenge for us to balance between spending time with Luke at the hospital & Jake at home.
If you are wondering why I titled this entry "Achoo" it's because I heard Luke's first sneezes...they were really quiet, but unbelievably cute.
Here's some video of Luke stretching while sleeping.
Cheers,
Colin

These are great pics and I'm grateful to be able to follow along on your journey. Still would love a trek out to Children's with you all sometime. We'll work it out.
