We had a bad night last night. Not because of Sam. Sam did great. His nursing team however, was not up to par. They interrupted our sleep at least once an hour...and they hardly even check on us during the day light!! ugh. Sam is doing great though. They had to go back up on his oxygen because he is still so full of fluid in his lungs. But that is our only problem. He is looking less puffy, and is much more alert. He refuses to smile for us, but he also rarely cries or even makes a peep. Clearly he hurts but it must not be that bad! He does enjoy looking at us with the most pathetic of faces, as if to say "look what YOU did to me"...refer to the photos above!
Chris and I let my parents babysit while we went out for lunch. We also stopped by a grocery store and bought some food/laundry detergent donations for the Ronald McDonald House. They took such good care of us, and we wanted to pay it forward. While we were out, the surgeon came to peek in on Sam...naturally. He told my parents that everything looks great except for the continued fluid retention but that he isn't worried about it. He said we are looking at being d/c'd this weekend!

I'm a friend of Laura's and she's always kept me up to date on baby Sam, so she shared the blog with me. I'm so glad he's doing well after his surgery. He looks adorable in the latest pictures...little boys sure know how to make their mommy's feel the guilt huh? We'll keep you guys in our prayers!!
There is something in Sams eyes that peers deep into the soul of everyone who sees him. There is a special quality that is so endearing and it will carry us all to a faith of believing. Your on our minds and in our hearts constantly. Mom and Dad W.
