happypamama Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Friends, I wish I had better news. Although he is content and snugly with kangaroo care, it is not enough. We have been moved to a private room. He still has his supports, and he will keep them until they either don't work or until we ask them to turn them off. He's happy sleeping on my chest, and there he will remain. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Happypamama and I belong to the same co-op. I have been able to see pictures online of Nathaniel. I think everyone should know that he's sooo beautiful. Just the sweetest thing you ever saw. He has tiny, perfect, little fingers and a sweet, sweet face. A complete darling. You just want to scoop him up and give him little kisses on his sweet little head. A darling. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Let me see if this works. I didn't have a photo resized on my phone. This is my sweet boy yesterday morning. (As Garga said, he's very sweet.) 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm just sitting with him on my chest. His sats go up and down but haven't sunk terribly far yet.

Guest Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 He is absolutely beautiful. There really is no sweeter feeling (or smell) than a baby snuggled upon mamma's chest. So glad he is cozy with you right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Earlier this evening I read him the part of the Bible that has his namesake, and I sang him my favorite hymn and a few of our favorite bedtime songs that I sing to his big brother. I wish I'd brought The Little Engine That Could or Winnie the Pooh to read to him. It's all not enough. I want more. 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 MercyA, I love you. One of those Little Engine books is the one we have. It and Pooh are two of his siblings' favorites, and I have read both of them many, many times. It had not occurred to me to look for them online. Thanks to your kindness, I was able to read both of them to Nathaniel. Thank you very much. His sats are drifting, but he is still fighting and clinging to life. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*LC Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Praying for endurance for you and your husband as you soak up a lifetime of Nathaniel in too short a time. I am glad you posted his experiences here, so you can print them out to remember whenever you need to in the future. I have been in a similar tragic yet beautiful situation that I never thought I could forget, but I don't remember details. I did write some things down (almost by accident), and I cherish those memories. Hugs for your sweet family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm so glad you got to read to him (all of it - about his namesake and favorite stories). I wish the collective will of the Hive could give him strength. Continue adding my prayers for all of you. Hugs too. I wish there were more we could do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
