Hello world!
Look how sad all those wires and cords are!!
Mom and Dad think I'm beautiful!
Look at how much hair I have!
I was listening really good to my mom!
My dad and I were having a good nap!
Look how pretty I am!!
I had a rough start! I started out with some fluid in my right lung. My mom had a fever while she was delivering me. My heart rate dropped about the last 5 minutes of delivery. They had to put me on a cpap for a while. But I started doing so good, they took me off the cpap and put me on a high oxygen flow tube. They have also been giving me antibiotics. I started doing so good they took me off the high oxygen flow tube. Yesterday (9-21-09) my crp levels were at a 4. It has to be below 1 to get to go home. Today (9-22-09) my crp levels are at 1.4!! My mom and dad are so proud of me! I might get to go home tomorrow or Thursday morning! My mom and dad are very anxious for me to come home! My culture hasn't been growing anything, which means that if I did have an infection it didn't go to my blood stream! I'm starting to eat pretty good too!! I can't wait to go home!
