Honeymoon Day (Aug. 04, 2011)

We wanted to let you know, that amongst all the sadness and struggle, we finally had a good day. The boys were both making good progress. Carter was removed from the oscillator and breathing with some assisstance from the ventilator. Today Carter was still a little sedated but was able to open both eyes and see his Mommy and Daddy for the first time.

Easton continued to suprise us as he took over as the son who was recovery well and was making steady improvements  being able to open his right eye. Easton seems to be the one finding things first, as you recall he was the one who had his hand in his diaper, well he now likes to suck on his fingers. At night when we came in we found his little face lit up with the red light from the pulse oximeter, attached to his hand as his fingers were crossed and in his mouth, So darn cute.

So all in all the 4th just happened to be a good, good day.
