Daddy's turn to hold Santino!

Our lil guy had a break from dialysis today. So John was able to hold him when we arrived at the hospital this morning. Tino was very content in his daddy's arms. It was very sweet to watch. Daddy even got a little sleepy with his baby boy. I was a little jealous but I was able to kiss him more :). John was very happy to finally hold him. They spent a good hour together.

While we were there the Dr. decided to take Tino off the ventilator. We weren't able to watch, thank goodness because I would have been a nervous wreck. It went well. They do have him on another form of oxygen (Cpap) but it just goes in thru his nose a little vs. the annoying tube down his throat. ( He looks like a baby elephant w/ the tube. ) It took a while to settle him down after that. We finally heard a small cry from him. It is a hoarse cry from having the tube in for so long. John and I took turns comforting him. When we left around 2:30 he was asleep. At 6pm when we called and checked on him he was still sleeping. I was glad to hear that because we wanted to stay and comfort him but had to get home to the other munchkins.

The feedings that they did yesterday didn't go well. He ended up spitting them both up. The nurse said he has a lot of air in his tummy so it might of made it upset.
Tomorrow will be another day of dialysis. He was swelling up again from not having the treatment today. We shall see how he does tomorrow.
