Great news! Today the doctors removed the nasal cannula, the peripheral arterial line (which you will see in pictures as a pink, cast looking thing on his left arm) and the morphine. The peripheral arterial line (or PAL) is used when the medical team needs to draw blood often. The PAL is a catheter which allows them to draw the blood out without disturbing our beautiful little patient. Apparently Collin's blood pressure is good, his lungs are strong and the pain isn't so severe now. All good signs!
In addition, Mom and Dad got to hold Baby Collin again.
We again thank you all for your prayers. Every time we get a piece of good news, we thank God for His Blessings and for all of you and your prayers.
Update: We saw Collin tonight, he has a new pad!
(We would have used "crib" but that is too obvious a pun!) Instead of the five sided plexi-glass box, he is now in an official, hospital bassinette! He looks beautiful and so healthy. We wondered if the nurses could hear us chanting under our breaths, "Show us the poopoo!"
If you look close, you can see his little fist waving!

Those little blue things on his feet are velcro holders that keep his oxygen monitor in place. They change feet every eight hours. (Silly us, we thought they were feet warmers!)
He is perfect!!
Thank you, Tiffany! (We think so, too, but we know we're a little prejudiced.)
Movin' on up! He really is a gorgeous boy. Thanks for sharing.

Have I mentioned that Collin's Great Grandpa N (great not only in generation, but by virtue of his personality) viewed the blog and asked that I share his congratulations to Matt and Erin for having such a beautiful baby? Prayers from all of our families abound.
Awww, can't wait to hear more good news and see more pictures. Hope Erin and Matt's spirits remain high. Prayers for all.
(James 4:8)
Draw close to God and God will draw close to you.
God Bless Matt, Erin and Collin
