No new pictures today. I’ve been told that it was time to enjoy time with out baby and not take pictures. 
. Luckily, Dad’s taking a few pictures as I type so maybe I’ll update this post with a few new pictures sometime tomorrow.
Christian’s lung functions have improved a bit and he has been taken off the C-Pap machine. His O2 Saturation is still in the mid 90’s which is right where they want it. The are now doing 3 chest X-rays per day due to a problem that the found in his chest wall earlier this morning. He has a small pneumothorax; basically a small hole in his lung that allows air to escape into the chest cavity. The doctors don’t think that this is going to post any problem, but he’s still having a hard time blowing off his CO2.
The bruising on his face is looking better. I don’t know if I mentioned it, but since he’s been stuck in the same position with his head down for the last 7 weeks, his face was black and blue when he came out. It’s now a bit more pink, but they are anticipating him needing a light tent because bruised babies tend to develop jaundice easier.
His feet don’t look pretty, and I’m sure they hurt a lot. They both have numerous needle sticks for both veinous and arterial blood. While his feet are big, boy that kiddo has boats for feet, they’re even more swollen now.
