Eyes!

After a very, very, very quiet day yesterday, Wyatt decided that maybe he actually did want to be a functioning human in this world. When I saw him this morning, his respirations and oxygen levels were better and he was making newborn baby snuffling sounds. He kept wiggling around and pulling his CPAP from his nose. Yesterday, he had sneezed out several large boogers and today his airways sounded much better.

Then this afternoon, he rewarded me with a nice long look around. He was looking around slowly, off and on, for close to thirty minutes. After he was fed at 2, he gazed around peacefully some more, then drifted off into a very happy, milk-induced coma.

In the evening, his IV had been dropped because he is now up to "full feeds". I got to hold him then too. Maybe, MAYBE, his CPAP will come off tomorrow, if he continues to hold steady. One day at a time...
