Today, Wednesday, Henry is needing a bit more oxygen again, sadly. As routine a virus as this is, it seems Henry is struggling to get rid of it. It's so frustrating. When the boys were first born and put on ventilators, one of the early goals is to get the oxygen support down to 21%, or "room air". We were very proud and relieved at how quickly both boys got there but it was Henry first. I have felt for a long time that Henry was ahead in the breathing game. He was first to 21%, first to come off the ventilator, first to come off CPAP. So, it seems so strange to me that it's breathing that is keeping him in hospital. We have always been told that their lungs were weak, so I shouldn't feel this way... but I do.
Charlie, on the other hand, is a delight. We have to feed him at 1am and 5am but he sleeps when we leave him to.

Oh my friends, continuing to hold Henry close while he fights this infection. Lots of love. Also this pic made my day!
