Good news for one, good news for all.

Here's the latest on Little Jeffrey. If everything goes well, which it probably will, he will be coming home tomorrow (3/19/11. The only concerns are his labs and blood pressure. For now the blood pressure is down with medication. He'll most likely have high blood pressure problems his whole life. As far as labs go, were just waiting to make sure nothing comes back weird. Dionna spent the night with him last night, and he actually breast fed, she said he did really well. He's also too used to noise while he sleeps. Dionna said he didn't really settle down until she turned on a movie. Nothing a little soft music can't fix. Right now we're just cleaning, and getting ready for him to come home. Dionna and I plan on going out tonight, since it will be the last one for a while, but this is what we get for having a new baby.

There's nothing really new, other than getting appointments scheduled. He's gained weight, and is eating more and more. He's also on his own time schedule, which is good for him, but not for us. But it's good to have him acting like a normal baby, instead of having to wake him up for feedings. One thing Dionna and I have realized lately is that a normal baby is such a wonderful thing. Every day Jeffrey gets closer and closer to a normal baby, and that's what everyone wants to see. Normally, when a baby cries, most people get annoyed, tired, or just plain sick of it. At the hospital, the nurses shout for joy, because if shows that he's able to act more normally, tell us something wrong, and have the motivation to eat on his own. So far this whole ordeal has made Dionna and I realize how many things we took for granted with Kenny, and have a greater appreciation for the miracle of child birth and babies. The journey isn't over yet, and Jeffrey has a lot of hurdles to pass, but with faith, luck, and love, I think that all will be well, and our little Jeffrey will be around longer than I will, that's my hope anyway. That I'll be able to watch him blossom into wonderful young man, that despite the challenges he's faced and will face, he'll still smile at the challenges given him. Thanks again for all the love and support we have been receiving, and we'll let you know if there are any changes, and when he comes home.
