Lincoln looks like a baby
During rounds yesterday the doctors said the only thing holding Lincoln back from going to the 3rd floor(out of the ICU and into a private room where they watch for a few days to make sure he is ok) is his vocal cords. He still hasn't completely gotten his voice back. Out of all of the things they could be concerned about I am grateful that it is something so insignificant. Other than his voice he is pretty much back to a normal baby. They took out his arterial line and his peripheral IV. They also weened him off his oxygen so they were able to take out the nasal tubes. Now all he has is an ng tube with breast milk going into it and a picc line with saline solution just to keep it open in case they need it later. We have some pictures but Will lost our card reader so I will post them when we can find it. I can't wait to take him home. He is such a good baby, and has the sweetest spirit.

I can't wait for pictures!! No nasal tubes! Yea! Every day is so exciting. I am sure you are very anxious to go home. We keep praying for all to go well with Lincoln's recovery and for you all be home soon. xo
Woohoo! Today makes 30 days- you are now officially qualified for disability...now lets's bring 'im home!
I can't wait for you to be able to bring him home!!!i have some bigger onsies for you to have him wear and some socks and stuff.
Congratulations! That is awesome! What exactly needs to happen for him to come home? Will he be able to come straight home, or will he have to go back to Primary Children's first? Can't wait to see the pictures! And congrats on getting your credit card lady arrested. Crazy!
We aren't exactly sure what needs to happen for him to come home. They just want make sure he is eating ok and his heart is doing ok. We can't get a date out of anyone, but we will get to come home when we are discharged.
