Monday was pretty cool, I took our Doctor friend Tracy in to see Luke. Tracy works in a PICU in Iowa and serves as the unofficial family Doctor to Wendy's group of girlfriends. She was very impressed by Luke's progress - we even got to see him extabated (sp?), which is the medical way of saying they took his breathing tube out. I guess it's pretty good that they were able to take it out so early...although they reminded us it could go back in at any time. Tracy also said his blood gasses looked great which is some magical doctor way of telling how healthy someone is.
I also got to change Luke's diaper today. This was probably one of the scariest moments in my life. I have Essential Tremor which makes my hands shake. My biggest fear is having a tremor freak-out and hurting my son. Fortunatley everything was OK and he's suprisingly resilient. He also had his first poop. Very cool!
Wendy got a hall pass from her hospital today. She got to go see Luke for 2 hours. It was pretty cool to see her and Luke really bond for the first time. Wendy is an amazing mom.
Cheers,
Colin
