This is the pump, read more info below.

This is the scary breast pumps in the pumping room. I used my own pump. I can't decide if it's a torture device or they think we are a bunch of cows.

He's still adorable!!! He is doing well. On monday the 10th we went on ecmo. don't look up pics. This is what the two big tubes of blood coming out of his neck are. Basically it pumps the blood out of his system and into a big machine that oxygenates his blood for him. He has been weaning down from it and we are hoping to get him off of it tommorrow Yeah!!! He is swollen, it's normal we are told. He is a lot less swollen than what he was before. The nurses and doctors say he is doing very well for a baby on ecmo. They think the root of everything is some pulmonary hypertension ( high blood pressure in the blood system from his heart to his lungs) and pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of a valve leaving the heart) After he gets of the ecmo he is going to the cath lab for a balloon procedure to fix the problem. We love our little guy so much. We can't wait to be able to hold him.
Also i love his hair. some of the nurses have been brushing it into this faux hawk and i LOVE it. i think it is so adorable. Keep praying for our little guy. I know we are.

Rebekah! He is so precious. It has got to be so hard not to be able to hold him. Hang in there. He is a tough little guy. And yes, his hair! Oh I just LOVE it!
