Grandpa and Caleb

Grandma and Grandpa got our Christmas present and were allowed to hold him this morning; he's doing good and opened his eyes for us. We love this little guy immensely. He has a little fluid in his lungs. Dr Yoder indicated this is not a concern, as he has a lot of fluid in his body and the body processes it out thru the lungs. He had a little cough and a slight wheeze. (He may have to go back onto the C-PAP Prose ventilator to help clear his lungs.) He opened his eyes and studied us intently. His bodily functions are working well, as he filled his britches while G-pa was holding him. Nurse Stacy got the pleasure of cleaning him up just prior to our departing. (Dr Yoder and his staff did their rounds while we were there and spoke about the MRI that they needed to schedule soon, and also mentioned that they would take the Cook catheter out this afternoon.)

2:15 PM, we just got word back from Shaun and Alicia, as they are currently at the NICU, and they stated that they had just finished removing the Cook catheter—(this is great news!!!).
