Checking in on Will ...

For those checking in on Will ... Will now weighs 5lb, 10oz. His preemie clothes fit rather snug - not a bit too big.

Today was vaccine day. Will received two vaccine shots this afternoon. Unfortunately, he did not respond well, resulting in several low desats tonight. The staff decided that re-starting the nasal cannula would help his oxygen saturation levels. Additionally, the added stress and discomfort wore down his body. He was unable to feed by either bottle or breast. We trust tomorrow marks a return to a cannula-free state.

I am including a note written by Charlie Pottgen. Charlie is the 4 year old (almost 5!) son of Wendy Pottgen, a co-worker of mine. Evidently, Charlie is quite a fan and enjoys seeing Will's pictures. Due to the scanning, Charlie's note may be somewhat difficult to read. It's important to know that Charlie's message to Will involves advising him on a variety of cool Wii games. Enjoy.

Thanks Charlie!

  1. Dear Baby Will:

    I am glad that you liked the picture. Someday we can play together. My favorite Wii game is bowling. I also like Wii Fit and Midnight Bowling.

    I am glad that you are getting bigger. I ask my Mama to show me your pictures a lot.

    Love, Charlie
