Lincoln day 18

They are removing the ventilator today and putting the cpap back on Lincoln since he is breathing so well on his own. They are doing more blood transfusions and is still being treated for all his infections. His heart and lungs are excellent.. he is having a new brain scan done today to see if the bleeding has increased. All we can do is 'wait and see' which is what the Doctors tell us every day.. as they hand me tissue boxes. And we swear a bell goes off when we walk in the NICU signalling the 'pastoral care' representative to run over to us.. we realize we have no control in any of this... and can only pray that Lincoln is that small percentage of miracle children we've read about..
