Weight: 8lb 6oz (when your kidney’s work right)
Favorite song: 2nd
Verse to ‘A Child’s Prayer and Christmas hymns (Silent Night, O Holy Night)
Favorite thing to do: Snuggle and Sleep and prove the doctors
wrong
Favorite food: Milk
Longest sleep: 4 hours … unless we count the hospital
sedation then you go for days
New tricks: You could do
tummy push-ups and hold your head up for over 30 seconds at four days. Once in
the hospital we would say breathing on your own, sucking/swallowing.
Our Sweet Little Baby
Boy,
Welcome to life and to
our family! Your little sister loves having a real baby ‘doll’ at home, she especially
loves your eyes. You love to sleep with your hands up by your face just like
your sister did but instead of wiggling your arms out of your swaddle like her,
you wiggle your arms out of your sleeves to get them up near your chin. And for
the record, your cry sounds like a car alarm, a very very cute car alarm.
What an adventure your
life has been thus far. We rushed you into urgent care at 15 days old thinking
you were just having newborn feeding problems. Little man, it turns out you were
much sicker than we realized, even your doctors. You are a very special baby,
little man; you got sick from a bacteria that you shouldn’t have and had to
fight to continue your life here on earth. We have learned that you are a
fighter little man and stubborn to the core. We have no doubt you chose to stay
with our family and we are so glad and grateful you did. I’m so sorry, your
life has been so rough. It was wonderful to get to hold you again and hear your
cry, no matter how faint for two days. We are so proud of you that you could breathe
on your own! I’m so sorry you had to welcome in your one month birthday with a
code blue and had to be ventilated and sedated again. No more methadone in your
future!
We love you little guy! I
can’t wait to have you extubated again so that we may hold you once more.
Love,
Mom and Dad
