Snow Again

It is snowing again today so Mommy and Grandma are staying with Daniel at home today. He has been eating a lot (sometimes up to 100ml) and his sleeping seems to be improving. He just likes to stay awake right at the time we want to go to bed. Today is bath day and we are now using the real baby tub (no more pink hospital bin to wash him in).

Sofia is doing better, in part due to a blood transfusion on Monday. This slide show is from yesterday's pictures at the hospital. She was so awake and alert, wanting to be held sitting up so that she could take in her surroundings. Her breathing and heart rate are improved. Yesterday, they were able to lower her ventilator settings a bit. Sofia is getting 55ml, in bottles during the daytime, and has been gaining weight. Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy changed her trach all by ourselves, without help from the nurses. We will each have to do it three times before she comes home.
