Little Sneezes

Dearest Joshua David~

The leaves are changing outside. It's really pretty. Wish you could see them. You'll have to wait until next fall to see all the beautiful colors!

Today is your Great-Grandma's (mommy's daddy's mom) birthday. Mommy called her earlier and she asked about you. I told her you were doing well. She has a teddy bear for you! When you're out of the hospital, we'll go see her. I gave you a kiss from her. :-)

The nurses said you had a good night last night. The doctor was concerned about your digestion because you were only wetting your diapers. But, after a little, tiny suppository you had a nice poopy diaper (as your mother I'm allowed to say that!). After that, you were doing a lot better with your feeding! Your color looked better and they may even increase your feeding to 11ml after a while.

I got to hold you again! I held you from 3:45pm-6:35pm! Almost 3 whole hours! You were so snug and didn't want to leave. You sneezed a few times, which was incredibly adorable. After holding you for a bit, you started to lift your arm up. Once or twice you tried to grab me. :-)


We spoke to the nurse about the radiograph that they took yesterday. The radiograph was taken to check the placement of the PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line that was placed. She said everything looked good. The doctor was pleased at the placement and you did well with the procedure. This will help you take in any extra IV nutrients.

I love you so much! Keep getting stronger! :-)
