A great day (and more pictures)



Katie making phone calls moments after giving birth. Note the phone in her lap.






Milk drunk 1 and then a few moments later Milk drunk 2

Already bored with us...

Yesterday was a great day. Samuel was released from the bonds of his IV and was moved from his isolette to a normal crib. The drug appears to be keeping his heart rate from spiking too high. When he is awake, feeding, and active the rate is fine. The issue now is that after he has eaten and goes into a deep sleep his heart rate drops too low a few times a minute. He will drop into the 60-70 bpm range for a few seconds and then recover. We will meet with a cardiologist from UW again tomorrow and the decision will be made whether the current momentary drops are ok or whether we should reduce the dose to find a "happy medium."

Attached are a few pictures, some from me, some from Lisa. Thank you for all your support and prayers.
