Fugitives, poop, and half a pound of baby


Baby Welton is 5 1/2 pounds!  He also pooped all over me, including in my mouth.  Umm, it was pretty nasty.  The retina specialist said there is no progression in baby's ROP, and that is AWESOME!!  He's also been taken off the sodium and potassium supplements.  His lungs are still working hard, but we haven't been able to wean him anymore in the last few days.  His eyes are much more mature now, and it's so amazing to see him actually focus on momma and daddy's face!  He loves taking naps on our chests.  The skin to skin is the best place for him to get deep sleep, and deep sleep is the best thing for his brain development.

So, we had a pretty strange night earlier this week.  A fugitive duped the cops and escaped into the hospital.

I haven't slept in about a week, so my brain is having trouble recalling all the details.  I'll try again tomorrow.
