I got to give a bath for the first time today! How exciting :-)! Holly was such a nice nurse, and let me help while she was giving him a bath. Well...she pretty much showed me how to do everything, and I think that Mr. Noah enjoyed it! For a few minutes, everything appeared to be picture perfect. I got to see my son without a whole bunch of wires on him (except the nasal canula) and soap him up, wash his hair, and wrap him up in a blanket after his bath. It was a beautiful moment. These have become the best moments of my life. Seeing Noah continue to grow and become a big boy brings a smile to my face each and every time. I'm so greatful that God has made me this little guy's momma.
On another note, he received a blood transfusion today...his hermadocrite lowered from 29 to 24.1 so the doctor went ahead and ordered for a blood transfusion of 24mL. It's always hard to see what your kid would need another person's blood in order to have a little boost, but if it's going to make him better, then I have no objection. He appeared to tolerate it pretty well, and his oxygen was still at around 24% on about 3.5LPM.
Today was a good day, and my baby smiled!
