Day 63

His heart surgeon decided to keep Liam's chest open longer. He is still very very puffy! He is down on his weight but still has a ways to go. She said he is making slow and steady progress Liam's way. He tells us what he wants to do. They did wean on his vent some today but they all told us that don't be surprised for when they close his chest they will increase it back up. His sputum culture came back again for pseudomonas. He has had the et tube in for way to long that try are not surprised that this bacteria is present again. They are Putting him on more antibiotics. They did wean his morphine a little today. I do not think he was to crazy with that, he was More alert today and had a few crying episodes.
We said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Sugar and baby Parker. It was hard to see Parker leave. He is probably so confused on why he only comes to visit and then has to leave his mommy and daddy. We all know that they take very very good care of him, which makes it easier being away. Chris and I are homesick and miss all of our family and friends. It is only getting harder the closer we get to holidays. I always tell Liam that home is way better then this and there is so much more fun things we can do at home. He is already defying his mother at 2 months old. :)
We are sad we missed Halloween parties and wont be able to pass out candy. But we have a candy jar in Liam's room for people. It is one of our favorite holidays. Liam and Parker will both be dressed up. I can't wait for you all to see.
Please to all on the east coast in the path of hurricane sandy, Stay safe and we pray for all of you!!
