Bright eyes!

After a long day yesterday in which Mommy was a worried and stressed mess, Sammy pulled through the night.  He did have a collapsed lung in the middle of the night, but seems to have recovered fine from that.  Our current situation is that we're on about 4 different kinds of antibiotics, one of which he'll have for a week (anti-fungal) because of the fact that he also had a tube inserted into his belly.  The tube is to drain any air or other yucky stuff that drains into his abdominal cavity from his perforated bowel.  His distended belly and then an X-ray showed that he had free air in his belly which is the sign of a perforated bowel.  Seems as though that's healing okay though as Sammy is looking and feeling MUCH better today.  He isn't as pale as he was yesterday and much more wiggly.  He's also not de-sating incredibly when he's touched during his cares.  And Cam and I got to do his cares again today (temperature and diaper change). That made me feel a lot better.  Not being able to pick up my baby and comfort him yesterday when I knew he didn't feel well sent me into tears many times yesterday...among other things!  I had a few times I couldn't stop crying yesterday over the silliest things.  But then again my worry and complete and utter fear of Sammy being so sick kind of drove the tears.

The big news today is that Sammy's eyes have almost completely opened finally!!  His eyes have been fused shut since he was born, so seeing his eyes for the first time is the most exciting thing in the world.  He looks more like a little baby and it gives him so much more personality!  I can't get over how much he looks like Cam.  It makes me so happy to see him smile and react to us so much.  I can't get over how much he's changed in just two weeks time.  We even got a few little smirks today! I am so in love with this amazing little man...
