Today however has been the best day! His swelling has gone way down and his color looks amazing. Jack finally ate. Breastmilk, formula.. He was chugging anything we put in a bottle! That was the first sign that he was starting to feel like himself. I also finally got to hold my baby again.. For the first time since Thursday morning. It was magical. It felt like when you come home from vacation and you just lay on your own bed with your head on your own pillow. I felt like I was in heaven!
Evie and grandma came for a visit today. Evie was so happy to see her brother.. She pointed out Jack's booboo and leaned over to give him a big kiss all on her own. Jack was watching his little TV (Mickey mouse clubhouse of course) when grandma walked in and as soon as he heard her voice, his little eyes searched for her familiar face! Once Jack was asleep, we went out to enjoy some lunch and sun.. And as soon as we got back, more good news-- Jack was heading to the floor!! So Jack is out of the CICU and on 8 East. He is actually in the same exact room we were in for our last stay at childrens. What are the odds?
Jeremy and Jack are having a boys night at the hospital and I got to come home for a night.. Which is SO nice! A normal shower, clean clothes and my own bed. Just a little recharging before finishing out Jack's hospital stay. So thank you Jeremy for hanging with the babe for me.. He must be happy to have some 1 on 1 time with daddy!
We are one step closer to bringing the little guy home! Keep those prayers coming!!! We are in the home stretch now!
