Thanks, everyone!
Stopping in the house for a moment to get a shower and clean clothes. Heather should be released from the hospital this evening, or tomorrow morning, just depending on how well she is able to move around today. Owen was delivered by C-section, and Heather has not been out of the bed yet, so she is sore and her muscles are a little weak. Otherwise, she is good.
Owen is still at Children's Hospital in Knoxville. His breathing has greatly improved, and we are hoping it improves to the point he can bottle or breast feed soon. Right now he has an IV for fluids, and a feeding tube through his nose to his stomach where he gets a small dose of formula every three hours. He was very excited to get the tube and let the entire NICU know about it...at the expense of hearing in my right ear. For the most part, though, he is doing really well. Handsome kid with big hands, big feet, and long legs. I look forward to being able to bring him home.
Again, thanks for all the congratulations here, and on Facebook. Hopefully in the next week I'll have everyone home and get back into the swing of things here.
