Today was a very special day for our little Mariana, as today was her 2nd Birthday! We really tried to make it a very fun day for her, since Mommy and Daddy have been so preoccupied with Graeme at the hospital. In the morning Mariana's little playgroup came over for a birthday party. Tonight we had pizza with Gran and Pop to celebrate. Mariana was thrilled with all the attention and had a really wonderful day!
Baby Graeme also had a really great day. He rested comfortably throughout the day and was able to to tolerate a reduction in his sedation. This was done in prepartion for weaning him off the ventilator. By early evening the nurse had turnned down his ventilator settings and he continued to breath well. What a blessing it was to hear that news!! The doctors expect him to be off the ventilator completely in another day or two.
Graeme is awake was able to tolerate Mommy and Daddy's touch today without causing him to be aggitated or startled. We were also able to speak directly to him today for the first time since Monday.
Our days are long and exhausting, as Alan is back to work, but still visiting Graeme and Mommy is commuting from her duties at home to her duties at the hospital. We all could use a good night sleep!!

Happy Birthday Marianna!! Glad things are good with the baby. Soon you will have him home and your house will be so busy you won't know what to do with yourselves. Your family is in my prayers.
