Russ loves this picture! He said that Link's going to get a Philosophy degree just like his daddy!
They did an ultrasound on Link's leg a couple days ago and the blood clot was gone! We were so excited! If the blood clot wasn't gone he'd come home on blood thinner that we'd have to give him with a shot every 12 hours. Now we don't have to!! A special thanks goes to his cousin Miles for continuously praying for "Winklon's sore leg."
Yesterday they needed to take the IV out of his umbilical artery because they can't have an IV in there for very long. They inserted a PICC (Peripherally inserted central catheter) line into him. Russ and I were a little hesitant about it at first but they explained that regular IV's only last from one to three days and they could come out of the vein, etc. So he has a PICC line that goes from his arm to right above his heart (central location). They can leave PICC lines in for up to 6 months. But his will hopefully come out before we go home!
And finally... our biggest surprise came this morning when we showed up at the hospital and saw this! RED HAIR?! Thanks Grandpa Cap!
