Happy Opening Day!!!!!!!!

Today is a special day every year for us baseball fans..... Today Colin and I enjoyed the start of the baseball season by watching our NY Mets play the Florida Marlins.....As to keep tradition, we dress up in our Mets gear and get ready to watch the game......As you can see in the photo, Colin was all jacked up to watch the new look Mets.......

Colin looks amazed by the heat that one Johan Santana is throwing.......LETS GO METS....

Colin Isn't Very Happy....Does He Miss Boston??

No pics today because Colin has been very cranky since we got home. They sent us home with a very "aggressive" weaning schedule and Colin has not really slept (either has mommy and daddy!) since we've been home. Therefore, the entire Domanico household is very cranky!! It's terrible-Colin just moans all the time and cannot get comfortable. Colin did have one good night and slept right through but, his feeding pump broke at midnight and Tim and I were up until 2 am waiting to get a new one!! We are very happy to be home but, it has been a very difficult transition.

Does anyone know if they have infant rehab facilities?? (ha ha)

ps-Thanks to Terri for answering her phone during stressful times!!

A Good Day....

Colin had another good day in the stomach distention department. It remained soft and mildly distended. His stats are in the upper 90's however he is on a liter of oxygen. His heart rate is nice and low. Colin, however has been moaning the last two days non-stop. Today after they gave him is adavan drug, he was happy as hell, smiling away and laughing. So now the doctors think all the moaning is from drug withdrawal and they are going to stop weaning the methadone and adavan. He has continued to throw-up once in the morning and once in the afternoon. However he smiles right after he does so. All medicines are now taken by mouth and not IV. The new plan is to get us back home sometime in the middle of next week to either the local hospital or hopefully home.

(This was a smile however it looks like he is yelling......)
