Another great nursing…stats great…and even mostly horizontal. Hungry little man today. And more like normal.
…Sanjaya survives another week on American Idol?!? The downfall of Western Civilization has officially begun…may as well surrender the country to the liberals now.
Today Josh had awake times today that were much longer than any time since Sunday, which we see as a very positive change. During much of that time, though, his heartrate and respiration rate were higher than we wanted. He also just now finished his best(and most aggressive) nursing since we’ve been here, and now…
