Spencer - Day 5

0515
Good morning!  We had a pretty good night last night. Took some extra time for Spencer to fall asleep but I think it was tummy gas as they don't have probiotics to issue here and his are likely all out of his system. However the regular gas drops eventually worked and he slept fine. 

They had another room air trial last night. This one ran the whole 30 minutes. Spencer's oxygen levels dipped down into the low 80s a number of times but he did self recover. The goal is to stay above 85 (out of 100) so we aren't quite there yet. He is still on 1/8 lpm oxygen. 

The test was even more exciting because the fire alarm went off! It coincided with one of his bigger drops in oxygen level and so I thought it was us. I guess it was from a different floor and I also assume it ended up a false alarm or quickly dealt with because we are still here. Such excitement! Not the first place I've been where we were interrupted by the fire alarm. 

Well he's falling asleep again so maybe I can get one more nap in before breakfast. 

Until next time...

    Oh, my gosh, Dena! I have been sick for two weeks myself, so I was totally unaware of what has happened to Spencer. It sounds like he is just where he needs to be, and I know that he will continue to get good care. Meanwhile, I will put him on my daily prayer list. This has been a rotten winter for illnesses for many people. I am still fighting it! He is beautiful, by the way! Love to All, Mary

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
