Today I get to wear clothes and take steroids!! Well the clothes don't really do anything for me cause I like to be naked but they make mommy real real happy so I guess I can wear em for her if makes her happy. Now about the steroids, I was realy excited when the doctor told me I was going to take some steroids hey what preemie doesn't want to bulk up a bit? well Dr. Julie explained that these were different kind of steroids, these help my lungs to work better and don't do a darn thing for my physique. I suppose it is about time to try out this whole breathing thing full time with mommy and daddy always on my case to do it and worrying about me when I don't. Well so far the steroids have been pretty great its been less than 24 hours and I already made my nurse Jenn turn down my ventilator 3 whole notches, I think that's pretty darn good for a guy my size!! Also I gotta say I make this blue shirt thing look good!! A little history on the shirt, you didn't think I was old enough to know any history? Well The shirts I get to wear come from a special closet here at the NICU that is just full of clothes and blankets for little people like me!! OK so the only reason I know this little bit of history is cause one of my nurses Jill told mommy and daddy all about it see Jills little girl Molly was real sick when she was little and the doctors said she wasn't gonna make it more than a few weeks well she made it a whole 6 years!! That's a lotta years!!! So this closet thing ( they tell me its like a realy big isolete but with doors) was donated in Mollys honor. I never got to meet Molly but I sure am glad that shes got all these cool clothes and nice snugly blankets I can use while I'm here. Maybe one day when IM all old and stuff me and mommy can make some blankets and shirts and stuff for other kids here.
