She is tired both physically and emotionally (of course!) but she's getting a bit more sleep and being able to see Baby Boy has certainly helped. She even got to feed him for the first time yesterday! WOWZERS! She was nervous because well...Baby Boy has been sick plus My Sis doesn't have tons of experience with bottle feeding, but she did a fabulous job and Baby Boy loved it. She can't nurse him yet because he still can't be held, he's hooked up to a few lines that enable them from being able to move him much, but hopefully she'll get to soon.
Baby Boy is doing soooooo much better! He came off of the ventilator this past Saturday and his oxygen levels are improving each day. His chest tube came out too so he's just hooked up now through his belly button line and his IV. He has the little oxygen tube under his nose too. The nurses have said that the improvements they'll see over the next couple of days will be big ones. He certainly has already come a long way since Friday! YEA YEA YEA!
So....all good news on the home front! Keep any prayers comin' for continued health improvements, for protection for all family/friends from any other yucky sick/germs out there (don't want to pass anything on to Baby Boy), and a smooth road.
thanks so much for thinking of them!
