Prior to that I had spent the entire morning, like from 6am until around 1pm, snuggling him. When we put him down to change his diaper it was very obvious that his swelling was favoring the side he was snuggling on, which is OK, but I decided to put him down for awhile to even him out a bit.
He hasn't been eating a whole lot, but we've attributed that to the fact that he's been on IV fluids. Between the swelling and the fluids he is weighing in TWO AND A HALF pounds heavier than normal. We've been calling him our little Sumo Baby. This morning they cut the fluids in half and sure enough, like they hoped, he's picking up on the eating front. So much in fact, that as I type this they're taking him off the fluids completely. Yay!
He's SUPER comfortable in his bed thanks to the "podster" Grandma Maegdlin bought him last weekend. Everyone around here wants to know what it is and where it came from as it's perfect for recovery. It's basically like an inclined bean bag chair with a hole in the middle. Add GiGi and his fleece blanket from Mallory and it's been the perfect place for him to recover.
So we continue to wait. And pray. Although isn't it great that now our prayers include more "Thank Yous" & "Hallelujahs" than "Pleases"?
He's looking so much more like himself. Yay!!!!
