The First Time On My Own


Well, yesterday they took the ET tube out of my nose and gave me some oxygen support for about 6 1/2 or 7 hrs. Then the nurse came in my room and said that I was ready to take off the O2 and daddy said ,"WAIT, are you sure we not rushing him". I just look at him and said, "Chill out dad, I got this". For the first time, I've been breathing on my own, ALL ME. I'm still getting used to my new airway, but for the most part I'm doing great. Daddy says that he feels like that father in the stands screaming, THAT'S MY SON, THATS MY SON. I also want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers,they are huge. Ayden

Your mom, Gina,and Joyce went thrift store shopping and I was shown what they bought.Your mom buys some funky tops.She bought Mickey Mouse flip flops and she expected Renee to wear them.Now your mom is gonna wear them.She can't pass up a good deal!HA,HA,HA Funky top and those flip flops can you stand it.HA,HA,HA
