Okay. So we have good news and some not so good news. Liams initial pneumothorax is healed! Yay!! However, he keeps having oxygen desaturation issues. The thing about a desat is that they're quite common and occur regularly in most infants. Because Liam is hooked up to all sorts of machines each one sends up alert signals. As I now he is only being monitored and he has no supplements. Everyone is just trying to figure out what is causing the desats. It seems to mostly occur as a timing issue when he is eating where he can't quite figure out whether to breath or swallow. It could be a reflux issue, too, or all sorts of things. Today we are spending the day in the NICU in a more private space which is so nice. Bein down in the NICU is incredibly emotional because on either side of Liam's bed there are the tiniest babies I have ever seen. One is two pounds and the other is one pounds. Their little diapers look about the size of a gauze bandage. It is comforting to know that those tiny little babies are fighting their way with the help of the NICU and our big boy is going to be just fine. If anything he is going to be the most spoiled baby ever! Every cry is immediately addressed and he is so loved. :). We're hoping he can keep his numbers up some more so we can get this little guy home with us and really get started on this whole parenting thing! I don't know many first time parents who get to sleep a full night while their little one is waited on hand and foot.

Okay I'm typing this on my phone at the hospital so please excuse any typos!
