Hello all!
This is Chelsea here with some great news! Owen got his breathing tube out early this morning at 63oam. He is also off all of his drips and got another big line out (non medical definition here: the line that went straight to his hear). He is on a nasal cannula, so we are still playing that game. He did very well and is a happy camper right now. He has been such a trooper today, just on morphine and tylenol for pain and a little bit of ativan here and there. Poor dude he is hungry but is coping well. I can't imagine what that has to feel like to be hungry and not have food and not be able to tell people you are hungry.
Chris and I rushed into the hospital to see our little man and his chin and lips:) they had been MIA for 12 days. They are cuter than ever, we missed them a lot, and hopefully will get some breast milk soon. The TPN is running, they are just being cautious since the eventful first attempt at extubation. He is off of all drips so that makes it easier to get more nutritive fluids in that volume.
Chris needed to make a quick trip home to pick up mail, so Auntie Jac came down to hang. When she got here, O was wide awake and stayed wide awake for 2 hours! We had fun staring at him and hopefully he had fun staring right back! He was sooo happy. It may have been the perfect cocktail of ativan and morphine, but Aunt Jac thinks it was her presence. Let's go with the latter:).
After he fell asleep we went for a late lunch to Pho (pronounced "Fuh", I am told, not "Fow"), and then walked back up to the hospital to chill with Baby O. We turned on his vibrating egg soother, put the paci in, gave him a foot and a head massage and he was golden!
We will hang out with O until late and then head back to Ron's. It has been a great day and I am sorry for no pics, I don't have the transfer cord on me. I wonder if I have to come up with another deep thought for Chris's question of the day...
A good friend texted me last night about Braille on drive thru ATM's, what's up with that?
My dad has wondered how do you plant seedless watermelons? If they don't have seeds then how do you make more? Ok that is enough for today. Miss you all, hope you are well, thank you for following us, and we can't wait to get back to our non-hospital lives and catch up with you and your lives!

Yeh, hooray. I am so happy that all went well. And more happy to hear your voice. Sounds like you had a great day. Hope you guys come back home soon.
As for seedless watermelons every now and then I find one seed in the entire melon!!!!! Maybe that's what they do crack a tone open and find and plant that one seed. then fertilize the heck out of it to get a whole crop 8-)
Miss you.
How wonderful!!!! I love hearing the happiness in your voice...well, writing!! Cheers to a happy day!
So glad it was a great day!! Hugs!!
Great to read you blogging Chels, and so glad to hear good news!!!
Such Awesome news!!! So happy baby O has some freedom!! Must feel so good to get all that stuff out of you!! Happy to hear the day went so well and hoping you guys can come home soon!!
As far as the questions.... ummm braille on drive up ATMS??? Yeah something that really shouldn't be encouraged. I know roads have bots dots but if you are blind, driving really shouldn't be something you're entertaining. As far as seedless watermelons go, the seedless ones I've had, have more seeds than something "seedless " should. They should rename the melon " less seeds" or " minimally seeded" which is more accurate.
Glad to read things are looking up!! HAPPY belated Birthday Chelsea!!!!! :)
Love to all yous,
Patty
I was blessed by a 45 minute phone call from you bigger man. What a nice dude!
