The Oregonians left on Tuesday, and Leigh's course of steroids finished yesterday. Her lungs improved a lot, tantalizingly close to not needing the ventilator, but she's still on it. The big news today is that Leigh's arterial line is gone, so she is allowed out of the incubator. We'll enjoy this milestone while anxiously preparing for a "backslide" now that the steroids are done.
SHV went in for some "kangaroo" time tonight.
That blue hose is hooked up to the ventilator.
We always suspected marsupials had it better, what with that handy pouch and all.
Behold the milk supply. We had cleaned out the freezer after the last picture.

DHV's lip is banged up from when he shared it with a concrete dam.
The Oregonians left their Pontiac G6 passenger door open. DHV got in by himself and assumed the position. Imagine the price of gas when he starts driving for real?
