I got released around 6:45 this evening. Before that I went to see Blake. His nurse had just finished assessing him and said she had hoped I would have already been there so I could have helped. Then she asked me if I would like to hold him in the incubator. I was so excited but I was afraid he had already been stimulated too much. She said if he didn't like it we would stop. So she picked him up and placed him in my hands inside the incubator. He put his hand up next to his face and just slept. Then after a little while he started to open his eyes. He got his right eye open but not his left. I think the light was too bright over head so she pulled his blanket that covers the incubator over it and he opened both his eyes. He let me hold him for a good 5 minutes and then he decided that was enough and started getting fussy. As usual he high satted while I was there. I don't know if I said it before but my doctor decided he wanted me to use a wheel chair now that I am out of the hospital for about three weeks. He says that my bp drops when I am up walking around and he does not want me to relapse. He wants me to rest as much as possible. I feel so silly having my mom push me around everywhere in a wheel chair. Don't get me wrong it is a nice wheel chair that is like the smooth riding Lexus version of wheel chairs accept for the fact that it is not motorized lol. My poor mom is getting a work out having to push me everywhere. It was ok for me to be in the wheel chair at the hospital but it just feels wierd outside of that. The doctor said that if the bottom number (diastolic) gets over 90 I have to go b ack in. So we will be watching to make sure it does not because I do not want to be readmitted. I will be resting a lot so that does not happen! I called this evening to check on Blake and he has been about the same on his Oxygen (all over the place). He did however have more blood in his stool which is not good but they are monitoring it and are going to take another xray in the morning as well as some more blood work to check for a new infection.
I posted new pics on photobucket if you would like to go on there and check.

Yeah mommy is all better!!!!!! You are looking much better. How excited you must have been to hold your little man. He is turning into quite the little chunky monkey LOL... You and your mom look great in the new pics. Take Care!!!!
What wonderful pictures! I am so glad you finally got to hold him. It was a little over a week with our oldest before I could hold him, and I remember all the emotions (now granted it was more just picking him an inch off his bed and not real cuddling, but I took what I could get. lol) I can see the pure joy on both your and your mom's faces.
Janna so glad to hear you are better! I am glad you got to hold your adorable little boy. Take care.
