Sunday May 18th

Well I had hardly any sleep last night... All I wanted to do was be at the hospital with Wesley.  When we finally got there he was passed out asleep.  We got some cute pictures that I will need to upload on the computer.  We shared with the nurses all my adventures being a vet and talked about all our dogs.  They say Wesley is such a sweet baby and how cute he is.  I said aren't they all at this age and size?  I am glad they like him though ;). 

How could u not like him?! ;)

One of the nurses gave us some ideas for pictures, so we took our wedding rings and washed them real good and placed them on Wesley's wrist.  Well joes was huge on him, but mine would have been hard to get back off his hand if we pushed too hard.

Amazing how big Joe's ring is on him!

We also bought a stuffed hippo in the gift shop to lay next to him for pictures.  And one day we can give the hippo to Wesley and show him how small he was.  Those pictures are on the camera though.  

Wesley did have another transfusion last night but won't need another for a while. He still is having periodic drops of his heartrate and sometimes he needs stimulation and sometimes he recovers on his own.  He had one episode while we were there.  The Dr restarted feeding him around noon.  I'm sure his belly will be happy.  Dr. Said in about 2 weeks we should be able to transfer him safely.  Yay! 

Wesley started to have trouble with having rapid breathing.  The nurse suctioned his nose, flipped him on stomach, checked temp and nothing

 Helped.  The respiratory therapist came and used a device to pound his chest to get him to cry and break up any gunk in his lungs.  Still no luck.  Then she stuck a catheter down nose and suctioned some gunk and that seemed to do the trick.  About that time we decided to head home.  It's always so hard to go. 

Love you baby Wesley and we hope to see you again soon!
