Yay! A family picture!
Mama had a rough day today. We had our hearts ready for moving to step down, but that didn't happen. It's rare that I get my hopes up like that - I've been perfectly content taking it step by step - but I was really looking forward to having a quiet room with more freedom with him. I feel so smothered here, with no privacy and all the noise and people and doctors always all over the place.
Monkey's having some reflux issues. They wanted to wait today out to make sure he didn't vomit anymore - which, knock on wood, he hasn't yet. His lungs are still wet, too, and they're monitoring that as well. They did take out his central line, however, which means it's a LOT easier to simply pick him up from his crib - so much so that we don't even need to call the nurse in to ask if it's okay. Yay! We love our nurse today, too - she let us put some real clothes on monkey - sweatpants that are huge on him and cute little socks. And she's totally encouraging the breastfeeding, even if he is still just hanging out at the boob, looking around and falling asleep contentedly.
Sammy got to meet his Uncle Skip today, too! My brother made the trek from NY for the day just to see the little monkey for a few hours. It was great seeing the two of them together - I remember when my nephew was Sammy-small.
So... we're hoping for step down tomorrow, and since we're staying in the hospital tonight, I'm hoping for quiet Sammy time, even if it has to be at 3am when the rest of the floor is asleep.
Fantastic! You all lok great!
