Having a newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit causes a parent to certainly learn ALOT, each and every day. Today, Caleb was changed to nasal oxygen vs. the oxygen hood! It is SO nice to be able to see his precious face out from under that thing. He was also taken off the warming bed. So when we got there today he was bundled all up in blankets. That was certainly different too. Thankfully he is not having any problems maintaining his body temperature. With all this, we got to HOLD HIM today! :) He still has the central line in his belly, but that will hopefully come out tomorrow if he manages to continue to handle his bottle feedings well. Here are a few pics from today...that truly leave us speechless. They speak for themselves. :)
Our precious boy, Caleb Andrew, blessed our lives for 414 days. We never imagined life without him and get through every day as best we can. Thank you for stopping by and reading about our journey...this is the blog we created the day our precious boy was born and his 414 day journey. Since his passing - it is about expressing feelings and putting it out there in hopes it will help someone else. You never know who you might meet along the way...
