Andrew Holds Carson

Daddy got to hold Carson today. He went right to sleep and stayed there for about an hour. When they were putting him back he was making little whimpering sounds. I think he really liked being held by his dad. Carson is still on a ventilator called a SiPap. He is almost breathing on his own, this machine just makes it a little easier for him so he can strengthen his lungs.

Little Cooper is still holding on strong. He is on his oscillator, but he is pretty stable for now on that. They will try to ween him off of it very slowly. Poor little guy is still pretty swollen from being paralyzed for so long, but he is not on that medicine anymore. They just try to keep him sedated. He likes to crack his eye open an peek at us when we lift his cover. He also is moving his little tongue around his mouth and playing with his tubes. I got to change his diaper for the first time today, which is good because they really have tried not to bother him too much and we haven't been able to touch him a whole lot. He grabbed on to my finger right away. He still has a long way to go, but we all know he can do it!

Here's another idea of how small the boys are. This is my hand next to Carson's. They may be teeny, but they are strong. I look at all they have been through already and am amazed. They are our little miracles. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers still, whatever everyone has been doing is really working. We thank you all so much!
