July 3

April and Will are both doing fine. She was moving around on her own, she was slow but able to do it. They let her shower with some help today. She visited Will a few times on her own (usually walking there and wheelchaired back to her room). April's breathing is still shallow so she may not come home for a few more days.

Will's color is less red today, turning more of a peach and pink color. The NICU Doc said he felt Will was still doing well. There is evidence of bleeding in the brain, which is considered normal this early. The NICU doc let us know he was not concerned about the location of the brain bleed, and they will ultrasound his head again in 2 days. William's heart rate was high and they're not sure what was causing that. He's on oxygen and IV's and too many meds to remember, but he is breathing on his own without a respirator. While I was there with April they put in an arm IV (we were asked to stepout when they placed it) and he did not like it at all. He was squirming around and attacking the tubes in his right arm with his left hand. Seeing him move and fuss around being helpless breaks my heart. Thank you everyone for being so supportive,

Aprils other boy,

Justin
