1. Have a long day at work
2. See your son at the hospital
3. Leave your son in the hospital
4. Drive home alone late at night
5. Cue the steady rain
6. Blast your radio, only to have NPR be doing a special on Irish funeral dirges
Works every time! =)
I really did have to laugh at how sad it was, because although I was truly sad, it was kind of funny how everything came together...the rain, the lonely road, and on top of all of it the FUNERAL DIRGES! Over the top. But I guess that's what makes a lot of things "funny" - absurdity.
Anyways, I'm doing fine, but that was a sad ride home. Christopher is doing really well today. This is the first day in a while that he has had no episodes of Apena or Bradycardia. When I got ot hold him tonight, he just did normal baby stuff, not turn blue. He's weighing in at 3 pounds 1.5 oz, and should go up from there. In other good news, he's holding his temperature well and if he keeps gaining weight (at least 4-8 more ounces) then they will consider moving him to a crib (read: clear plastic box without a lid). He's still under a close watch though, and the nurse tonight acknowledged that he's had a rougher than expected time with the whole breathing thing but that it wasn't necessarily an indication of greater problems down the road. You always worry about that stuff, but I guess I should hold off on freaking out until I have something to really freak out about.
Rachel has a big test tomorrow at 8:00AM, so please pray for her. She's trying so hard to stay focused but I know it's the hardest thing for her to do.
Hehe...this is Christopher with a onesie that we tried to bring to have him wear. It says it's for a "preemie," but either America is getting way fatter than I realized or somebody must have switched tags on us...we just laughed and took it home. Notice his little feet sticking out of the bottom - it covers his whole body! They just don't make clothes as small as him.
