Dressed and Ready for the Day!

They are dressing him now!!! Soo cute... hard to get a good cell-phone picture through the isolette but we tried.. he started to open his eyes for it but the morphine had him sedated.

As Lincoln always does, he defied the odds again today! His pneumonia is already improving and they are no longer getting the blood out of his breathing tube.. the gram-negative infection of the week is e-coli (4th time so far) and is being treated with more antibiotics. He didn't wake up during our visit but looked adorable in his little outfit. They said they will dress him in whatever as long as it doesn't have feet! I washed several of his little preemie outfits and will take them in tomorrow. I'll try to remember my good camera and video camera to get some good pics/videos to post. He's not in the clear with his new infections but we were happy to hear they seemed to be improving. His weight last night was 4lbs 2 oz (that one's for you, Judy!).. some of that is the excess fluid he's retaining but still an impressive weight! We also learned this weekend that when Lincoln's face turns bright red and he appears to hold his breath and bite down on his tube, that he is angry.. haha! We just thought it was a funny thing he did and since he can't cry right now we didn't realize he was getting angry.. it's cute though.. I'll try to catch it on video for you if he gets mad at me tomorrow!

One of our primary nurses that we love came running in today.. apparently a baby in our pod 'coded' and she thought it was Lincoln. Luckily it was not our little guy but unfortunately it was another baby in our little room and she didn't make it. Such a sad day for all involved.. the parents were there and as far as we could tell it came as a surprise to them.. it's just so sad what these micro-preemies and their families go through in the NICU.
