Titus is showing improvement - slow and steady. His oxygen has been turned down, but is still twice the level we have him at home. When he's awake, he's content and alert (except when the nurse is giving him meds in his IV). Becky has propped him up in the chair so he's not laying down all the time.
In some ways, Titus is just like any other kid in the hospital. He gets bored when there's nothing to do. He is used to going to school, going to therapy, and having 4 older brothers play with him all day. And at the hospital - well, he has mom and the nurses. And this video shows you what he is up to.
But, this morning, Titus had a first. Becky mentioned last night that Titus had a loose tooth. Now, this is a little strange since most 4 year olds aren't loosing their teeth yet. But since Titus was born with a horseshoe-shaped cleft palate, the doctors were always wondering what teeth would come in. And, for those that have seen his smile, you know that Titus has a full set of teeth. Several of his teeth though are fused together and pretty stained.
This morning - he lost his first baby tooth. Becky is trying to get a picture of him without it and as soon as I have it, we will post it.
At this point, we anticipate Titus coming home Sunday, but as we have learned, we take it each day as it comes.
And, I have to say this - thank you to Becca and Melissa for going down and visiting with Becky and Titus yesterday. That made her day and you guys made her laugh. You two are precious friends and we love your families dearly.
