Baby steps to recovery!

I had a good nights sleep last night! Because of the surgery (closing) yesterday, my hemoglobin is a little low so I'm getting some blood today. What was that Aunt Barb said about vampires?

More importantly I'm finally getting some milk from my mommy! They have to give it to me through a feeding tube, but she has done a good job of storing it in the freezer for me since my birth.

I'm a still a little sleepy today, but wake up for mommy. They are weaning me off the morphine so I will be more alert each day. They are also going to try and wean me off the respirator. I'm on my way now!
