Tuesday Night

Ramsey finally woke up this afternoon and we had a great day.  Grandma Razza got to hold him on Sunday, and today my mom got to hold him- I'm so happy they finally got to hold him after nearly a month! I'm sure the rest of the family is also looking forward to holding him for the first time!

Ramsey was awake for much of the afternoon and I enjoyed my time rocking him and telling him stories. Tonight, I helped bathe him again and held him a little longer.

His feeds are back up to 2 ML- so far, so good. His vent is still at 22. They'll need to lower the pressure a bit but we are so close to extubating!

Tonight, I want to close with the best card Ramsey has received, written by 9 year old Caleb (the CDH survivor whom we met in person a couple weeks ago). Thanks Caleb- we loved your card and it brought tears to my eyes!

Dear Ramsey,

Welcome to the club. The CDH club. Your trophy is a big scar across your stomach. Congratulations! Your mom will always be worried about you but still love you the way you are.

From your new buddy,
Caleb
