Amelia
Melissa called Amelia’s room first thing this morning to see how things progressed overnight.
It sounds as if the suspension system was taken down. She is tolerating her feeds well, and the chest tubes are coming out later today. There are plans in place now to decrease her muscle relaxants, which will allow the medical team to begin weaning Amelia from the ventilator.
Sounds like another big day ahead.

Things just a little tougher in that Jack seems to have caught a cold. We’ve been bringing Jack to the hospital everyday, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before he came down with something.
Around 4am, Junior started ‘whistling’. I got up with him so that Melissa might have a chance to sleep, (if someone could figure out a way to teach a 2 month old how to blow their nose, they would be on Oprah’s couch in a month). Father and Son relocated to the family room and watched Star Trek. He seemed to enjoy the whole experience, but Dad would have preferred an extra hour of sleep.
For the next day or two, it looks like its just Amelia and Dad at the PICCU.

I just read the whole blog today and it just is so overwhelming. Give Amelia my love. You both are doing a wonderful job of keeping us informed. Mary
I'm glad Amelia is coming along so well. This site was a great idea. Hopefully we can see her ( and Jack soon)
Shari :)
We are thinking of all of you often. The blog is a great idea - hope you are saving all this for Amelia's scrapbook.
