We have seen Drew two times this morning. He is free from the IV now. He still has it in his arm but not hooked up to the drip and hopefully they will take the part in his arm out soon.
This last feeding, they let me nurse for the first time! He did really great and I think he gets more milk that way so hopefully we can keep that up.
And we signed up for the discharge/CPR class that is tomorrow night so that is another check off his dismissal papers.
Many of you have asked how often we get to see him. We can go in as much as we want, but we are only allowed to touch him every three hours. At his "touch times" we can take him out of the "box", change his diaper, take his temperature and feed him. We usually stay with him about an hour and then let him rest. So, it is a little stressful because we don't really have enough time to go home and then back again in our short two hour window. So please pray for us to have energy! And pray for Dean to be understanding of all our coming and going. Last night as we were going up to the hospital, Dean said, "but I need you!". He wasn't upset, he was just letting me know. This morning he asked where we were going and when I told him he said, "me and you goin' to the hospital momma?!". So it is a lot for him to process and we are praying that Drew will be home soon and we will get to celebrate as a family.
