So yesterday
Jayce got the IV line out and we got to dress him up in Halloween outfits. He wants to know which outfit you like better? He did very well last night and is not showing too many signs of withdrawal. He is running a low grade fever and his breathing is labored but they haven't had to give him any morphine yet (hopefully they won't have to either). He did get his first bath yesterday from
Grampy Narrow and Dad. Oh it was a comedy show.
Jayce was in rare spirits and Dad and
Grampy Narrow were running around trying to get the bath over quickly. All I know is that
Jayce better start liking the water soon or Daddy is going to have one battle on his hands! :) We also got our first eyeball picture. He usually blinks at the flash and closes his eyes...but we
snuck in this one picture. Enjoy!

Today we still need to work on eating. We didn't try yesterday as he is breathing very fast. He's put on another ounce of fluid and that may be affecting his breathing (as he retains more fluid his lungs can't expand fully). Most babies loose their excess fluid in their first days but since he was IV fed and now nose fed he doesn't seem to be dropping that fluid. Hopefully now that the IV is out he'll shed some of it...he's already up to 9 lbs 5 oz!

My vote is for the pumpkin. Wow does he look like his daddy when he opens his eyes! Sounds like you've got a big boy on your hands.

It surely was a Happy Halloween for many of us. We got to hold Jayce for the first time as did Kathy, Keith's Mom. It was a wonderful feeling to hold his little body close to ours and to give kisses! It sure was fun to watch Keith and Glenn give Jayce a bath. We had two big boys struggling to bathe a little guy. They did do a great job. We are so proud of Taryn and Keith! They have a terrific attitude and have pulled together during this difficult time. We love you Taryn, Keith and Jayce! Please hurry home, Jayce, because many people want to meet you! By the way, we like both costumes. Jayce looked so cute in both although he wasn't very happy having the ghost one pulled over his head!
Love,
Grammy and Grampy
I'm going with the majority and voting for the orange pumpkin outfit. Taryn and Keith, you have one cute little boy. I love the picture with his eyes open.
