Today was kind of a slow update kind of day. The doctors are slowly weening him off of the oxygen and he seems to be tolerating it pretty well. He now LOVES a passy and needs one in his mouth at all times. This is a good thing....for now. He has only been fed by a feeding tube we are happy that he has the urge to suck. He is also high maintenance. He doesn't like the light in his eyes so whenever a nurse opens his little box, I have to cover his eyes. I'm spoiling him already. Any way I can, I will. A nurse tried to put a "pick" in his arm because he likes to pull out his IV. This is just a longer tube that goes towards his heart. They gave him pain meds and sedated him but he still moved around a lot so they couldn't do it.
I got to hold him 2 days in a row. This time I get to hold him for 2.5 hours. I always look forward to holding him. It gives me such peace knowing that he feels comfortable and safe in my arms. He has never cried once. It is such a great feeling. Plus, holding him helps me produce milk. It is working because I make A LOT of milk. I may need to start profiting from it! Just kidding. But I am a human milk factory. TMI?
We just hope as the days and weeks go on that he gets stronger and stronger until he can finally come home!
Keep Praying!
