Today was the best day so far. I have even fewer tubes, and they even took away the pacing leads. I'm doing great! My nurse Joanne sang some songs and I like "Apples and Bananas" best. But I forgot all about that when Mommy walked in the room. She got to hold me for a long time and sing and talk to me. I had a lot to say to her, too. In fact, I didn't stop chatting the whole time. It all came out as little cooing noises though. I'll have to continue practicing that enunciating thing. But it was clear that Mommy understood.
Don't I look better? I didn't mean to scare anyone yesterday with my photos--I really was feeling better! Tomorrow I will probably start on milk for the first time and move from CVICU probably back to NICU. Joanne says I'm a really good baby--I don't cry at all when they're switching around the tubes and stuff. I guess the only thing that irritates me is when Auntie Heather tickles my feet. She should at least wait until I can focus on her better, so I can plot my revenge. At least tonight she was nice, and just held me and rocked me a bit while I slept. I was still cooing--I was dreamin' of Mommy.

Well Kiddo, I can help you plot your revenge. Auntie Heather is INCREDIBLY ticklish. Not just her feet but everywhere. Word to the wise.

I'm trying this comment feature out again...hopefully you can see that friends in Pittsburgh are following your progress! Preston looks so big and healthy, and it's just hard to believe he had major surgery a few days ago. He's going to be busting out of that place before you know it. Take good care of yourselves! Love, the Zadniks (Allyson, Andy & Ethan)
It's good to see you looking so healthy! The video of you talking to your mommy brings back memories of when my babies were little like you.

What a beautiful thing to read today; thank you so much for all the updates and everything that you have brought and will continue to bring to this world. (And thanks to your Auntie Heather for being such a precious being!)
