My turn to brag!

Okay, anyone who knows Jeff (even a little bit); knows he is an amazing daddy, a kind heart and my best friend. I am so lucky he's keeping me around. There have been times when I have leaned on his arm, his testimony and his strength. When we started with infertility and then lost the twins I knew that I could endure anything as long as I had him by my side. This has been true yet again. So lets get it straight who is walking in who's footsteps. Our little man is doing very good today. He sure does have a temper though. It is really sad when he gets upset because he has that big tube down his throat, you don't hear noise, you just see sad little face and mad-mad-mad little feet and hands. I told the nurse he must have a crap attitude..... She looked at me like...um... okay... so then I had to explain that, despite his condition, despite the fact that he has undergone two surgeries and no matter what anyone says.. He doesn't give a crap! He's going to live, he is going to get better, he is strong... that made sense to her. He got the I.V. in his neck out today. He also had a drainage tube removed. They are trying to ween him off some of the drugs, and he is going tinkle really well. The nurses are very obsessive about how much he tinkles, this allows them to judge how much fluid he is getting off. They hope to close his chest tomorrow. This will be a big step to his recovery. His sats have been in the high 70's mid 80's today. He is just plugging along. Ry is doing well also. She had been staying in Orem and having a blast with grandma and papa, aunties, and of course baby Arli. This is all starting to be a little hard on her. Good thing grandma's and papa's can make things better. Our parents have done so much to help us, we couldn't make it with out their help. Jeff and I met some families with heart kids, they are amazing. They have made this all a little easier and I just wanted to cheer for Bryson who got to go home today, and Brinley who we think is darling. Thanks guys. I will let you all know how Alex's chest closure goes. until then.......
