Cole seems to be stable and no changes since the last post. He's a little more active (as seen by him grabbing onto the crib bars). Cole's Grandma Jacquie and Grandpa Keith came to visit tonight. Cole responds so calmly to his Grandma's voice. They have a very special relationship. And we were so grateful for their support and love as well. We're bedding down for the night. Good night and God bless.
One of the many terrific nurses (Kylie)
His doctor has requested Cole only lay on his side to help with his head shape and swelling and it takes at least two of us to roll him over using a series of swadling moves with blankets and pillows
-- it's not a series of moves he particularly cares for, but he is beginning to tolerate it more (in both pain and attitude, both of which are connected.
His little mouth gets so dry up here especially since we're not giving him anything by mouth. So they've got these nifty swabs to help ease the dryness of his lips and mouth -- and bonus, it smells like pink bubblegum!
You'll notice that his skill on his face looks shiny like it's got lotion on it or it's wet -- it's not, it's just pulled so taunt from the swelling. And the picture doesn't really do the swelling around his eyes justice. But we're finally all settled in for the evening and hopefully get some rest. Thanks Grandma for bringing your camera up while we pick up the battery charger from home.
