Jeremy survived a day in Pullman without us, but is quite anxious to see his baby in the morning. Mom, Maeli, and I got to the hospital this morning and I was able to spend most of the day touching Tucker. It was wonderful! He is doing well, and they've started to feed him a little bit through a feeding tube. An attempt was made to take him off the blood pressure medicine completely, but he's back on it, in a low dose for now. He's getting stronger and little more feisty, they try to let him be as active as he wants to be until he starts pulling at his tubes, then they have to help him relax a little bit. But we continue to move in the right direction, they're hoping to take out the tube by Monday, but we'll see how the weekend goes. He won't get to come home until he can breath and eat on his own. But we'll take it one day at a time.
I am so sorry to all my friends who so badly want to talk to me, I promise that I would call if there was something that I needed, but actually talking to other women about my sick baby just tears me apart. Blogging is one thing, and he really is doing well, but I'm holding things together as best as I can, and I fear that calling any of you back would push me over the edge. Thank you for your calls, and in a few days I'll start calling people back. In the mean time please keep praying and thinking of us and I appreciate all your efforts, I just can't talk about it in real life yet.

I think everyone understands why you haven't called anyone back. Tears are expected - I mean goodness almost 3 years later and talking about our little guy still makes me tear up. I think crying is theraputic, I hope he gets to come home very soon. You guys are such good parents! Tucker is very blessed.
He's lookin' good! You are all lookin' good! Sweetie, you just keep holding it together as you are. You've got a ton of good thoughts and prayers going all the time. You will all get through this just fine. love you all. gram

Oh heavens, don't feel bad about calling! I felt bad I called you before I knew what happened! After I read your blog I kicked myself for calling. So I'm sorry for that, and I'm glad Tucker is doing better. He really is a cutie. I think about your guys tons, and we're still praying for you.
