Frankie boy is a week old now. How life has changed since he was born. Satellites started falling from the sky, they stopped producing compact discs and stopped charging for long distance phone calls. We arrived around 2:30 today. He was quite upset with our early entrance. I have never seen him so upset in his whole life. But he came around. Its almost 10 pm and he has been pleasantly quiet all afternoon and evening. His heart rate is around 155. They want 140 but that is also a far cry from his 180-210 yesterday. His breaths have deepened and the breaths per minute have dropped to around 75. They want 40 but last night he was 100 plus. The oxygen they give him is down to 40 percent compared to 70 percent yesterday. Still not an absolute cause for his problems and discomforts, but they stopped the silvadene (burn cream) and have been giving him Tylenol all day. His fever is gone also. We/They have stopped visitors, the lights are out, and the nurses try not to bug him. Alex and I sat here for the last two plus hours watching Bridesmaids on her laptop with headphones on. It really sucked only being able to hear the dialog on the left side of the screen. Just kidding, we had two pairs of headphones. The baby across the hall went home today. She was very premature, but that is all I know. I am curious to meet our new neighbors tonight. No real plan of attack for the boy at the minute, just kinda get him back to normal before moving forward again. We appreciate all the support we have received. It means a lot to us to have such great friends and family.
