Pierce - Age: 2 months 1 day

All,

So, this weekend went fine. He had some issues on Sunday with his secretions, but Nicole and the nurse put some saline in the trach, bagged it to push it down a bit in his trachea and then suctioned it out. They then kicked the warmth up on the humidifior. This seemed to work as last night he was doing well and when I came in this morning, he looked happy.

Yesterday, Pierce wore his second favorite teams colors while they were in the super bowl and sure enough, he gave them the strength that they needed to blow out the Denver Broncos. "Yay Seahawks" is how he responded when he heard the news. "That defense is a powerhouse. Peyton had no chance" was how he finished off his comment. He might be a sportscaster one day.

The most exciting and scary thing though is that it looks like the hospital is planning on releasing him on Wednesday. So now we are in the mad rush to get everything set to bring him home. Yesterday I was putting together a new armoire because we need space to keep all him medical supplies. We have realized that having everything in a 'central supply' is a good idea and just keeping what we need nearby will be important, so I am putting together boxes to keep under his crib and this beautiful armoire. We will be ready for his homecoming.
