The the hospital has wireless access, so I'm here with Jonathan typing this. I got to hold him some before Julie arrived for his 12:30 pm feeding. He' really active today. Oxygen level is good -- but he still has the nasal canular. The Oxygen levels are keeping us here. He has to have at least 48 hours of unassited breathing before he goes home. We did get the preliminary chromosome reports back. Jonathan tested postive for Trisomy 21. It's the vanilla-type, run of the mill Down Syndrome. We'll know in a month if we're at risk for subsequent pregnancies or if he has another type. This news, while saddening, brings the first bit of closure to our situation. Julie just said to me "it's going to be OK." It's the first time I've heard her say this since he was born. I agree. It will be Ok because we'll do it together.
