I got to hold Morgan today

Today was a good day. When I got to the hospital this morning they had just switched Morgan over to a regular ventilator instead of a oscillating ventilator which had been putting faster breaths into his lungs. He responded well to the new ventilator. The tubes for a regular ventilator are more flexible which meant I could hold him. I got to hold him on my chest for half an hour today and it was awesome. He was just relaxing and sleeping. I also got to change two of his diapers today which I hadn't gotten to do yet. When I left the nurses were trying to put a pick line into either his hand, foot or head (I know that sounds scary but they assured me that it can go there too). The pick line will replace the lines he has going into his belly button for his nutritional supplements. After a week of the lines going into his belly button the chance of infection increases because his belly button is supposed to be healing. I don't have any pictures of me holding Morgan right now, the nurse took some with the disposible cameras we had but I will have my camera the next time and post them on the blog.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the love and support you have been showing me, Brad, Marcus and especially Morgan...we all appreciate it very much!!
