Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts. Sean is being removed from the ventilator this morning and put on a positive pressure mask to make sure his airsacs in his lungs remain open, the doctors have said that this is a very positive sign. He's very active, which they say is again a good sign.
I haven't met the little guy yet (hopefully I can take a peek sometime in the next two days) but my sister has told me that he's under lights in his isolette and wearing teeny tiny sunglasses, she says he looks like he's lying on a beach somewhere.
Sean's mom, my baby sister is 12 1/2 years younger than me and the youngest of eight kids. My dad died when she was 7 and my mom when she was 21. She's been strong through a lot of seriously traumatic stuff at very young ages and we're all immensely protective of her, she's a very special girl and will be a fabulous mom.
Thank you all again.
Mary
