Visit from Santa (in March!)

Anthony has been so tired of being stuck in a crib and connected to tubes and wires.

His favorite thing today is trying to pull his port access (needle covered with plastic butterfly) out!

He has also been trying to yank the oximeter cord enough to make the monitor go flying across the room.

Thankfully, he hasn't succeeded yet with that...

Finally though, Anthony got to be disconnected from wires and tubes for a couple hours.

FREEDOM!!!

He crawled around the whole room, tried to climb into cupboards, then tried to stick a finger in the ultra-powerful outlets.

*sigh*

Here he is under the portable bathtub.

Isn't the clear blue tub so pretty?!

We needed new bedding for Anthony, so I asked the nurse.

She brought in a fresh sheet and 2 baby blankets that someone made and donated.

The blanket below, plus a similar one but with fishies on it. Anthony loves this kind, with the fringe. :)

Bathtime.

See all the stuff we have to cover the port with.

We have to be so careful not to get his port wet.

Water can help bacteria grow and breed, and that is too dangerous by the central line.

Santa came and brought a couple goodies for Anthony.

The two bears.
The smaller bear represents us and the large bear represents God.
This is to remind us that God is always with us.

Anthony also loves the little piano!

Anthony is still having a hard time getting enough oxygen when sleeping.

His ANC (immunity count) is down again, to 32 (healthy people have it in the thousands).

So, we're still at Seattle and will probably need to stay until at least Monday.
