Connor is doing well. I was able to hold him on Saturday and umm, I still do not feel like a dad. I don't know what I'm expecting to feel... older... grouchier... even more insane? Whatever it is, it has not hit me yet. It was very relaxing to be able to hold him and he settled down and was doing great (he likes me). Then when I was done holding him I tried to get a picture of me kissing him. Unfortunately his ventilator tape was not on very tight and all the weight from the ventilator had been pulling out and as I turned Connor slightly to get a better angle for the camera, he started beeping. Lots and lots of beeping. Then all of a sudden there were about 942734892 doctors, nurses, and interns crowding around him. Sara started to get scared because his numbers were super low and it didn't look good. Then all of a sudden he was fine and everyone left. The xray lady came and let us know that his ventilator had been pulled out by one half of a centimeter which had caused him to choke and not breathe right. He is now fine. One thing they noticed when they were all standing around him is that he sounded like he had a cold in his lungs. He is now on some type of medication to help with that. I have no idea how long he will have to be medicated for. So that was enough excitement for one day. Since that time Sara has been able to hold him a couple of different times, which makes me kind of jealous. Oh well, as long as he says "DaDa" before "MaMa" I'll be alright.

I have heard of several men say that it wasn't until they were wrestling on the ground with their child that it all of sudden hit them! I think it is different for everyone! You will all be in our prayers!!!
