Thursday Morning

Cohen is doing pretty well this morning. The last 12 hours have been hard for Emily and I because his oxygen levels have been regularly dropping too low, and he is currently on a little oxygen. On the good side, they did a chest x-ray this morning and his lung tissue still looks good. He also has taken the last 2 bottle feedings completely. As for the rest of the fam, we decided to send Cort to the grandparents for a couple days. It was hard to do that because we feel like things have been weird enough for him here, and to send him off changes things more, but the truth is a couple days of "normalcy" at the grandparents may be better for him than a couple days of attempts at normalcy here. Oooh- Cohen's oxygen is now over-saturating, which means they get to turn it down and let him work more on his own. We like it when it swings that way. In other news, we are getting the house duct work and carpet thoroughly cleaned in hopes of bringing Cohen home to a more lung-friendly environment. This also means our cat Mowgli is getting the boot. We have actually been trying to pass him off for a bit now because he just doesn't get along with kids well, and we're not getting rid of the kids! My sister graciously took him back to Athens GA as a temporary fix, so if there is anyone out there that wants a beautiful 5 yr old long-haired cat, let us know. I should warn you though, he has gotten into the habit of marking stuff.
