Lab Updates Feb. 23

Well, my labs are up to 26. Just got to get to 27 and we can start tapering the prednisone. Whoopeee! I am, at this point, in the hospital until Monday. Just to keep monitoring, etc. So that's the latest word.

I was able to go visit Petros about an hour ago. If you visit me, you get to visit him (unless you aren't feeling well, etc.). You just have to wheel me to the NICU:) He is doing well. He was sleeping and so I wasn't able to hold him... his nurse gave me his tentative feeding schedule and I can go down there and hold him/feed him during that time. But he's doing so well. Rob/Paul and my dad took digital pictures last night, but they didn't leave the cameras with me. As soon as I have the cameras, I will post more pictures of baby petros. My dad seems to be so proud of his new little grandson and namesake... dad's excited because he's the darkest baby any of us have had (my mom's babies had dark hair, etc. but Katherine and I seem to have these blonde hair, blue eyed boys).

Thank God, it seems as if the best case scenario is happening... with the baby and with my blood levels. This is more than I could have ever hoped and prayed for.
