It's been just over one week since Marcus and Michelle came home. THey are both doing great. In fact, Michelle went out for dinner yesterday with Cindy to Olive Garden. I think they had a good time and I'm sure it was great for Michelle to get out and spend some time with her dear friend.



In other news... I hope to be back at work soon. Now that Michelle is home and Mom is gone we are just getting back in the routines of childcare. I spent yesterday with Marcus in the morning, Madison to dance and shopping in the afternoon and soccer with Matthew in the backyard in the evening. It was a wonderful day, but I didn't get a lick of work done. Hopefully today I'll have a chance to get back to the office.

They're home! Marcus and Michelle were able to come home Saturday night! Here are some of Michelle's thoughts on being out of bed. And here are some pictures of the big day.

3. Marcus meets his siblings

New IM address I've changed my IM address (due to the fact that we are no longer "M4"). Now my addresses are as follows:

Marcus looks great! He's in Michelle's room at the hospital with no equipment attached! Here are some photos...

Marcus is doing better each day! He continues to do better and better. He is off of all the oxygen now and is just being monitored for respiration, heartrate and blood oxygen. Hopefully he'll be home in the next few days.



Michelle spent last night at home! For the first time in three weeks Michelle slept in her own bed. It was wonderful having her home. We are getting ready to go back to the hospital right now to spend the day with Marcus. They are going to let him out of the nursury today and into Michelle's room there at the hospital. If she does well for a couple of days there then they may let him come home.



CPR Training is required for all of the "primary caregivers" since Marcus continues to have occasional fits of low oxygen saturation. We are all going for CPR training at 11am today.



Baby Registry is online Many of you have asked what we need for Marcus. Thanks to a lot of hand-me-downs and good friends we have all the big things already. Here is a link to an online baby registry for the other items we need.

GREAT news... Michelle just called and she was able to hold him! and change a poopie diaper. It was about midnight on Saturday when she went to see him one last time for the night and they let her hold him because he's on oxygen through the nose, not the CPAP or incubator. She was so happy. I am happy also, but sad that I missed it! :-(

Good news... I found the Memory Stick and new pictures are here.
