*there's two steps forward and one step back

Well, not exactly two steps...but Will is back on the ventilator today. The attending doctor has a few ideas about what might be the problem. He and the other doctors have been stumped trying to figure out why this poor boy just cannot breathe well on his own. The heart problem is one thing but his blood work looks like a baby that would be able to breathe without being intubated. He's such a mystery.

Wrapped up like a present on Sunday with our friend the cpap:

He does the funniest things with his hands:

It's always disappointing when it seems like he isn't making progress, but enough about that for now. Here are some pictures from Saturday. We did get to hold him! We were very happy to do so but it wasn't quite as exciting as I imagined. This just can't be the same has having your baby at home where you can pick him up whenever and however you want. Having a baby that lives at the hospital is just not normal! I may not even use the word normal any more after this experience.

Getting rocked by Daddy:

Mommy's turn:

We must have done a good job because he slept the whole time:
