You get a line, and I'll get a pole, honey




Today Mason got his first fishing rod. His fourth birthday is next week and this was what he chose as his birthday present from my grandparents. He was so excited he could barely wait for Matt to take him fishing after dinner. Matt took him to the lake in my parents' neighborhood. They didn't catch anything, but he had a big time anyway.
Will had a good day. They did a trach collar trial on him. That's when they try him off of the ventilator and without any CPAP support. The only thing he's hooked up to is the humidifier, so he's breathing on his own. He did great! He didn't drop his oxygen saturation at all and it was a complete success. Yay Will!!!! This is the first step to weaning him off of any kind of ventilator support, so we're thrilled that he did so well.
Hays had a pretty good day, too. He made his first trip to Target, and I consider that to be a very big deal! I think he liked Target, but who doesn't? He certainly got lots of attention! My mom was carrying him and she was stopped countless times by people asking, "how old is that tiny baby?" Imagine their surprise when she told them three months!
