More About the Lodge

I'm back in the room, and I've actually got a Wi-Fi signal. The trick is, I have to stand up against the wall with one foot propped on the bed and the iBook balanced on my knee. Luxury!

Cooper's doing great. We have him in his first Alabama gear. Crimson is definitely his color. I fed him earlier, and it was the first time he made it through an entire feeding without the nurses getting involved. He ate really well and even got some of his mother's milk. He gulped that down in a matter of seconds. Typically, he gets about an ounce into the bottle before he starts to fall asleep. And when it comes to sleep, this kid is an artist.

Also, a cardiologist did an echo of his heart to double-check on that murmur. Nothing. He's perfect in that area. His glucose levels were back up to 76 this afternoon. We're really hoping that the readings this morning were due to a bad test strip. That particular test was not backed up with lab work, so we really don't know. Dr. Bruce must suspect the same, as he has ordered that each test be done both with the handheld device and lab work.

Okay, my ankle hurts. I'm stopping now. Peace and love to all of you.

Wait! I also need to send out props to our nursing staff over on floor 3OB. Gina, Tammy, Lisa, Karen and so many others really made us feel cared for. You guys are the best!
