Sweet boy Austin

Well as you can see from the picture Austin is smiling and talking. We go over his eyes, nose, mouth, ears, ect. and he actually is saying the words. He can say eyes, nose and ears!!! It took surgery for him to talk?!?! Well we got great news. WE ARE BEING MOVED TO THE 4TH FLOOR. Yeah Austin!!! No more PICU. Although we will miss the staff. He started drinking apple juice today (from a syringe) and now has moved onto milk. I am sure next will be some crackers. He is alert and has sat in my lap twice. It is some what painful for him to be picked up and even changing his diaper is hard. It takes two. He is going potty. Yeah the antibiotics are kicking in. Fun. He is getting blood and platelets today. I have gotten lots of hugs and kisses from him. Too sweet for words. I am not sure when we will be moving but it even might not be until late today or tomorrow. Have to make sure there is a room and he has his transfusions for today. So I will post when we move!!
