Day 2



So today had many ups and downs....started off with some hard stuff for us to swallow and we were feeling pretty down. Lane had some of the fluid drained off his brain in hopes of preventing damage until his shunt surgery on Monday. We spend the afternoon with him and it really helped raise our spirits. I got to put his diaper on and Daddy and i worked together to feed him. He has the iv's out of his feet so tonight we get to put socks on him! And the best present of all.............WE GOT TO HOLD HIM!!!!!! He is doing great...swelling is down today. You can see in the pictures from yesterday to today. It was the best feeling in the world. Pictures are posted below. We should have some test results back tomorrow so we shall see how things are going....please keep us in your prayers.

  1. He's beautiful. How exciting that you got to hold him so soon. I think Caleb was a week old before I got to hold him.
