Such a Good Boy..
Lincoln is stable... his stats are all ok right now and the bleeding into his diaper has diminished a little. Unfortunately that does not mean he is getting better. The doctors know there is nothing they can do at this point but watch him and keep him comfortable. We are having him baptized tomorrow. He has a wonderful caring nurse taking care of him today and many other times, and that makes us feel very happy. She actually dressed him early this morning for the first time.. she had him in a tshirt that said 'I'm the little brother' and cute pants... it was before we got there so we didn't get to see it but she did take a bunch of adorable pictures of him dressed and holding onto the little stuffed animals we have there with him. He had just gotten his morphine though so he didn't wake up but we were so happy and grateful that she did that for us... she said she isn't done yet so we are looking forwad to seeing more adorable pictures. She said if we have anything special we want him to wear in to bring it in and she will get more pictures for us... I am going to go to Polaris early in the morning to search for a nice preemie outfit for him to wear for his baptism. He is THE cutest baby and THE best-natured sweet little boy in the world!! We are torn apart by what has happened to him and we are going to treasure every minute we have with him and give him all the love in world. He can have visitors so if any of you want to visit him just let us know.. We are living in the camper at Cardinal Center in Marengo.. we got everything to work except the kitchen sink so we are all set.... and of course Cole loves it here!
