Nurse Smackdown!

Mr. Lincoln has some strong opinions on who changes his mini-diapy and suctions his mouth out everyday. He has decided which nurses he likes and which nurses he exhausts himself trying to beat down every shift. THAT is a funny sight! Yesterday was a 'bad nurse' day and today was a 'good nurse' day... this is evident by his stats and behavior... today he was very content and actually breathing at 20% which is room air and very very good.. his stats were also very good. He does have a new brain scan in the morning.. we don't anticipate anything negative but this whole process is a complete baffling mystery sometimes so you never know... all we can do is hope and pray for him... We have honored his wishes and submitted a list of nurses he likes so he can have a more peaceful and comforting stay in the NICU. Visitors are allowed at this time... just let us know in advance to be sure we are there.. it's getting more difficult juggling home life, hospital visits, Cole's ball games, lawn care, appointments, laundry, and everything else daily life requires.

  1. Today I held Lincoln for the first time on his 1 month birthday. It was wonderful, he is so adorable, our beautiful little miracle. He was crying a little, which was so wonderful to hear, he even pulled his IV out and bled a little, but as soon as the nurse put him in my arms he settled down and went to sleep. I sure do love this little tiny guy. God keeps answering our prayers.
