It's always nice to see Malachi doing "normal" baby things. One of these things is chewing on his fingers! He loves just chomping away and it's encouraging that this has a consoling effect for him. I had a video, but accidentally deleted the clip from my camera.
He was wide awake looking at his toys hanging from the ceiling.
Another peek at the IV burn. It's looking MUCH better though!
This is what his heart rhythm looked like on the monitor when I arrived today. I hate seeing those crazy arrhythmias.
Thankfully, about an hour later, it was back to a somewhat regular-looking pattern.
I rearranged the toys hanging from the wall so that he could kick, kick, kick! Not sure if he liked it or if it ticked him off... time will tell. Again, I had a video clip, but it was deleted.
They started trach collar trials today. He handled his first two-hour trial just fine! This is super encouraging. If he keeps it up and stays healthy, we MIGHT not have to go home with a ventilator! It's also one less tube that is weighing on him.
That's really about all for now... Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
