When I got into the hospital today, Kean had a band aid across his head. They took a bunch of blood out of the vein in his forehead to run some further tests on that mass in his liver. It must be exhausting for him to have even a bit of blood taken-- 'cause he was pretty snoozy today.
They took him off his oxygen yesterday and he's done really well until this afternoon. He had a lot of desaturations. So I'm hoping its just because he was sleepy and not a little set back. I'm feeling so positive that the end to NICU is coming.
I also had a long talk with the head doctor for the NICU about when to get Kean circumcised and about modifying his immunizations a bit.
On the home front, we had Grandpa Bodily up for dinner (leftovers from the yummy dinner Kim Leach brought in last night) and then the three girls put on a show-- complete with teaching Grandpa and I dance moves a' la Hannah Montana. Thankfully, there were no hidden cameras in our living room. Can we say "blackmail"?

How funny! Well, not the part about Kean--I meant the dance instruction. I'm guessing it might be the dance from that Hannah Montana movie--the Hoedown or whatever it's called. Maybe? It seems like Kean kind of has his ups and downs in the NICU but, overall, makes steady progress. Hopefully his decels were just a temporary setback and he'll just keep getting better and better on his own. Bet you're getting excited about your posh hotel stay on Tuesday! We're totally praying for you. Hang in there.
