February 1st

Dallas was hit by a winter storm last night & we woke up to ice & sleet covering the roadways. Even though we are staying only a few blocks from the hospital, the roads weren't safe for travel and I decided to stay home with Collins & Bryan's mom. I missed seeing my little man!
The doctor attempted to wean Casen off the vent again early this morning without success - he just doesn't want to give it up! They decided to give him caffeine to help stimulate the respiratory center in his brain. Hopefully that will help him breath on his own when they attempt to extubate again tomorrow morning. Bryan says the caffeine makes Case go cross-eyed... we'll have to watch the soda with this one! :)

Collins is a trooper & loves hanging out with her Nana. So far she is doing well without any concerning sick symptoms. Thanks for praying for her health!
