Sleeping with momma.

Well he is a snuggle butt. He loves being held especially by his mom. It's because to him I smell fantastic!

Anyways. We need to make this little guy a chunky monkey. He has not really gained weight since birth. His body prioritizes and it wasn't at the top of the list apparently. The doctors think he has not gained enough mass and muscle to cough effectively and this led to his failed extubation. We are going to try and fatten him up so we can get rid of the breathing tube.

As frustrating as it was to get it put back in everyone is confident he will do well once we get him bigger. It may be awhile. (doctor said at least a few weeks) We will just have to see.

Michael is such a joy to us even with his breathing tube. He will wake up and just start to wiggle. I keep telling him he's dancing. We love to dance. Dad keeps saying he's kicking. We are already training for Tae Kwon Do. : )
