countdown to 72 hours



A real quick one before we head back to the hosptial... we celebrated Douglas's 2 day bday last night, with some cupcakes, candles, and balloons courtesy of Uncle Rob. While nothing is guaranteed in this whole miraculous process, the docs have been talking about 'the first 72 hours' since the day he was born, so it was a nice realization this morning when I realized that we'd made it past 60 hours overnight, with still nothing but good news every time we speak to the docs and nurses.

Thanks so much for all the kind notes, well-wishes, and prayers. Pretty cool to have people all over the world sending so much good energy to this little guy. I promise you we can feel it, and I feel sure he must too, from as much as he's accomplished in the past couple of days.

Here's a pic of Maw and Halen from last night, along with one of a great little sign the nighttime nurse Marlo worked up, realizing that she'd adopted Douglas as her "new honey." (she was also the transport nurse who safely got him from South Austin to St. David's NICU Friday night).

We're off to see the wizard... more later.

Oh li'l Duggie is so darn precious. It's so good to see his little face and just look at him in awe. I really cannot wait to meet him. Many prayers for you little one. You are bound to be a special boy.
