Medically not much has changed today. Brendan is stable and comfortable. His feedings were changed from 20ml an hour for 24hrs to 22ml and hour for 22hrs. This just gives him a break in the day as they work toward getting him off continuous feeds to make it easier for him to come home. His blood pressure medication is being increased slightly as well.
Gramma and I went to the hospital this morning with Trevor so that she could spend time with both boys before heading to the airport at noon. We are all going to miss her very much. It is hard to believe it has been a whole month already! Thank you, Mom, for all of the love and support and we hope you feel better soon.
I am always prepared for some big surprise when I arrive at the hospital. Today, it was a cute surprise! We get to Brendan’s room and he is in a swing! He seemed to be really comfortable with it too!
Once Brendan woke up, he got to spend some time with Gramma
While I got Brendan’s situated in Gramma’s arms, Trevor waited in Brendan’s bed nest. I would say that he found it pretty comfortable.
Holding two babies at once takes some skill, especially when one is a total sleepy noodle and the other is awake.
Brendan is very alert and awake in the mornings
Brendan seems to be alarmed at the brother encroaching on his space
This looks like a serious conversation
The boys got to meet Aunt Heather #1 today, she just flew in from Colorado for the weekend.
This is Aunt Heather from dad’s side of the family, the boys also have an Aunt Heather on my side. When they start to talk, the boys will have to come up with nicknames for them so they can be different!
As if there were not enough pictures, I leave you with a video. I believe they must be communicating telepathically… hahaha
There are never enough pictures. It is the highlight of my day. I sure hope your Mom gets feeling better soon – she looked so happy holding the boys. I find myself going to work saying ” hey did you see the blog today?”
Good Morning from a sunny East Coast! And adding to the sunshine are those wonderful pictures! You are blessed with an awesome family. I know that Gramma was sad to leave, but also looking forward to returning home and healing. I assume you thoroughly checked her luggage!! Ha, Ha!! Love, hugs and prayers!! 🙂
Aunt Heather #2 is loving the pictures! It is so cool to see Brendan doing “baby” things, like being held, sitting in a swing, getting into “he’s touching me!” battles with his brother.
