we don't know Linda either
Her and Linda (a nurse who is in charge of photos) both were shocked and appalled that no one at the hospital had taken any pictures for us... we never knew that was part of our package deal.
She took some close ups, some group shots, printed a couple wallet sized prints out and got us a cd of the few she took and promised she would make sure more pictures got taken more frequently, huh, who knew.. that was great.
He continues to do well. The respiratory therapist let slip that she was pretty peeved they hadn't given him any sedation for a while. She wants the babies who are tubed to get at least enough to take the edge of annoyance off from having a tube in their lungs. It helps them ween off faster. He has been doing good so some nurses didn't give him any sedation. The respiratory therapist said Greydon had a "very good disposition" which is probably why it got missed. He's back on the dope now. Maybe tomorrow maybe the next day he should come back off the respirator.
It is unfortunate that the c-pap, though a good thing, hides more of his head and face than anything. It has been nice not having the mask blocking his face from view. Hopefully he will be able to make it all the way back to the nasal cannula soon.
I can't wait until we can see his face all at once without tubes or masks.
Here are some of the pictures the nurse took for us.
This was certainly a first, they had us holding him in a sitting up position with both of us in the photo... yeah!
He kept messing with her, everytime she was ready to take the picture he would close his eyes again... it was funny.

How can you not just fall in love with that little guy? I do everyday. One good thing about the sedation is that is helps them also from pulling the tube out, which is what Greydon did last night after we left. I'm glad I missed it.
Don't you think he looks bigger? I think his hair is lighter, too.
I could just go on and on about him.....
I agree, he does look bigger since I last saw him, what a doll! You just go ahead and go on and on AND ON about him, you've waited along time to do that! So grateful that he's improving so much. Love you guys!
