Waiting for an extubation…

Sounds like the title for a song. If it was, it would be off the album “Stopped at a Green Light.” The song would either be a Tori Amos ultra angsty played on the piano type song, or it would be a mid 90’s grunge band, ultra angsty type song. Of course it also could be an overly happy, chipper song sung by a group of happy folk singers.
It is also a great description of where we find ourselves.
Today was a much better day. Emma Jane has stabilized and even begun the weaning process. What was particularly exciting for me was finding out that they have even begun feeding her again. So now we continue to pray things go in this direction, and we pray that Emma Jane will even be extubated sometime soon. The sooner the better.

These pictures are taking a step backwards, but what with all the hecticness of the weekend, I never had the chance to post them. A week or so ago Mary Jane's friend Janyne showed up with a gift of micro-preemie clothes for the babies. Many people have kindly given us clothes, but the babies are still too small for the vast majority of them. Which is okay, because the babies are really too small to be wearing clothes. However we decided to play dress up on Mary Jane's birthday. Thank you Janyne for the oppertunity. Here's Emma looking all pretty for her mom on her birthday. Little did we know at the time she would be having surgery less then 24 hours later
