Starting The Day Off Right

Kelly and I arrived at the hospital this morning to find a wide-eyed Davis sitting up and playing with toys.  What a great way to start the day!  They have already removed the CPAP oxygen gear and are about to remove his neck lines.  Rather than putting a cannula back on him for O2, they decided to try using a big tube pushing O2 in his direction.  I think it's fair to say that this is working just fine (see video below, turn volume up).  He's definitely hungry/thirsty, but they want to wait a few more hours before we give him breast milk to be sure he's doing ok off the CPAP.  Luckily, he decided to take a nap since he's been up since 5:30am playing and hanging out.  So maybe when he wakes up we'll have a bottle ready to go.  :)

I can only imagine your surprise and excitement when you arrived to find Davis sitting up and playing with his favorite toy!! Talk about miracles and answers to prayers...Davis is the poster child for what happens when prayers, positive thoughts, and love are guided your way. What a blessing to behold, for sure!! Well, please tell Davis we'll all keep those prayers and positive thoughts winging their way to Rochester and following him home to Denver as well as he continues his recovery. Thanks so very much for keeping everyone posted with YOUR positive thoughts and wonderful photo journey of Davis' life changing experience. See, Davis...I told you the sun would come up today!! Now...we just need to get those eyelids open so you can see it, too!
