Improving
Well, this is the first time I've seen all of Q's notes on the page together. It looks like I have good records as I haven't started his actual journal yet and my mind is so full of stuff I can't rememeber anything much right now. My husband is excellent beyond words!
Today was my most exciting day so far, since the day Nico was born. I got to do some "Mommy" things, like rubbing stinky poo off his hiney while he cried because he was so mad! That was our first time hearing him cry. I was so excited I couldn't feel bad for him at all. I've been waiting for that sound since he came out in the delivery room.
Arriving home yesterday, Maya seems like such a grown-up tiny person as she greeted us at the door and shortly afterward told me I needed to go to my bed and rest. She is in much need of hugs and kisses from her mommy, as we have both missed each other. I think she will be so excited when she gets to have her little brother come home! For now we aren't really showing her photos, so she won't be scared of the tubes. I hope to talk to the child life person at the hospital tomorrow about how we can talk to her about everything that is going on.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, food, errand running, gifts, flowers and messages of concern and encouragement. We are so fortunate to have so much support!
Visiting (added video)
We got to take his tempature(picture below) and change a diaper(video above). He pooped on Kristina so that's a winner. They are still going over the MRI results process so we do not have info now. They are happy with his progress and has been started on breast milk. There was no evidence of seizures in the EEG test.
