Today was my first day back in the office since October 28. Not to say I haven't been working but being in the office is different. It makes me feel disconnected from what is going on at home and in the hospital.
I spoke with the doctor this morning and she said that Brayden had a really good night and even though part of his left lung is still collapsed his blood gases keep coming back really good. She said she was going to leave him in the oxygen hood and that she was not going to do anything to him unless he made her do it.
I met Miranda at Baby's R Us after work and we went straight to the hospital. When I met Miranda, Payton and Doa at the store Payton told Miranda to be sure and not drop Brayden. We both got a good laugh out of it. When we got to the hospital the nurse told us that Brayden had pulled his feeding tube out of his mouth twice. It's not a big deal to pull out the feeding tube, but it does still have to go back in. It was great sitting there holding him without having to worry about pulling something out of his chest or nose. To just sit there and hold my son and feel his little movements and whimpers. While I was holding him he also got the hiccups, it was the funniest thing to hear, he sounded like a little puppy whimpering. After about an hour he started getting hungry so we put him back in his bed and the nurse began his feeding. Here is a video of Brayden laying in his bubble sucking on his Binky while getting fed. Watch how mad he gets when he looses his Binky. That boy loves to eat and by george he will let you know it is feeding time. In that respect he is the complete opposite of Payton. We can't make Payton eat and I have a feeling that Brayden is going to eat us out of house and home.

Every time I read your blog I say a prayer of thanks. I am so glad Brayden is doing well. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
