We couldn't resist taking this photo of us in my hospital room. The hospital serves very nice meals here and they made a special meal for New Year's Eve . . . it even included the traditional 12 grapes that you are supposed to eat for each month of the next year (some sort of random tradition here). We can hear fire works going off around the city and from the room, we have a great view of the night sky here in Quito! Santi's mom is also here with us.
The doctor will be releasing me to go home tomorrow. And so will begin a new schedule of coming and going from the hospital until Nathan is released. But we don't mind - we're thrilled with every moment we can spend with him! By tomorrow morning, he should be taking 25 cc's of milk during each feeding and hopefully I can start working on breastfeeding! They have now taken out his oxygen tube and he's breathing well on his own. Tomorrow they hope to take out the tube that goes into his stomach (to pump out gases). It's so exciting as all the cables, wires, and tubes go away one by one!
What a way to start a new year! We're excited to see what God has for us in 2008 and we wish you all many blessings in 2008!
