I just had to post this picture, too. There is nothing else in the world like a mother's love. He reacts to her like she hasn't even been gone a moment. When she holds him and he tries to fall asleep, he can't because he keeps opening his eyes to look at her! It's amazing to watch.Hopefully soon we'll have some pictures without any tubes attached to his face. There'll be a little collar with the trach on it, but if that helps the little guy breathe, I can deal with it. I'm sure when I see it for the first time it'll be a little rough, but mostly it'll be ok. I think the hard part for parents is getting over their hopes and dreams and letting their baby set the tone for his childhood. Anything he does will be awesome to see and watch, and perhaps I can still teach him to put his own worm on the hook. If I can't, I'm sure he can come with me and enjoy the warm air by the lake and listen to me tell him all about the fish we're trying to catch.
I believe that when he gets home he's got some surprises in store for us...don't you?
