I was just looking through some old pictures and came across this one. It seemed like every day we went to the hospital, Andrew looked a little bit different....specially during the first couple months of ECMO, surgeries, tries at extubation, etc. One of the reasons I took so many pictures was to try to capture each of those moments in time, good or bad. I think this picture is perhaps the one where he looks the most like a baby; he was sleeping peacefully, he had fully recovered from ECMO and the associated fluid retention, and he hadn't yet developed the "steroid cheeks." You can see his beautiful eyelashes, his cheeks are just the right amount of squeezable, and his hair was neither lost nor dorky....just thought I'd share.
