A quick note and then I'm off to bed. The week may have gone quickly, but that doesn't mean it was any less exhausting than others. If anything, Will has more energy than either of us; they gave him some morphine tonight to settle him down so he would quit fighting against his ventilator. He gets stubborn sometimes, it seems, and doesn't want to let it do its job.

He was good while he had visitors, however. Mary's mom and her sister, Bridget, visited Will this afternoon and he was well behaved much of the time. He shows off for visitors and the doctors, saving his highs and lows for Mom and Dad. We did get to see one good high -- his weight is up to 677 grams. Not his official high, which was 740 grams during his fluid-retention phase early last week, but certainly the high when you consider this one is all Will.
