Today was an awesome day, I got to hold my son! It was probably one of the best 45 minutes of my life (along with holding Jake for the first time almost 5 years ago). He was awake when the nurse put him in my arms...he was wriggling around and looking all over. In my mind, I imagine that he can see me smile at him, but the nurses have said that I'm only a blur to him if I'm a few inches from his eyes. It's so fun to watch his eyes...the muscles are so weak that his eyes are always rolling back in his head when he opens them. It's also sad but totally funny when some moisture goes through his breathing tube into his nose. He absolutely hates it and chokes a little bit when it goes down his throat...but the voices and faces he makes are so cute. Don't worry, the nurses say it's normal.
As you can probably imagine by now, his health is almost back to normal. His oxygen saturation is back to normal levels, but his flow is still up at 6 liters. The doctors also bumped his feedings up to 3cc's every 3 hours.
After about 20 minutes of holding Luke, he fell asleep in my arms...it was so good. And now, it's time for the family to go to sleep. Thanks again for your prayers, they really mean a lot to us. Cheers,
Colin

Whoa!!! Quite some photos. As you wraped your arms around LEW so Christ wraps His arms around us. Your love for your children is so awesome. Again, I pray that you have a good night's rest and awake on a Friday morning looking forward to TGFL.
God bless the quartet,
Don Tomas
