Wow, what a week. I'm not even sure what day it is. Craig has been doing such a good job keeping the blog updated, I've been able to focus on taking care of Matthew. We came home early tonight to get some much needed rest. Matthew had a good day overall. His vitals look great and he seems to be recovering very well. This recovery has been hard to watch. He is in so much pain and wakes up screaming every 2 hours. His voice is very hoarse so when he cries he doesn't make much noise, he just turns red and his blood pressure and heart rate go sky high. It is so hard to see my baby in so much pain and there is nothing I can do to fix it. He looks at me with those big blue eyes and is so confused as to why I'm not picking him up and cuddling with him.
Matthew was given a bottle of sugar water to see how his stomach would handle it. Nurse Practitioner, Kelly, helped as we fed him. Matthew loves Kelly!
Matthew was given a bottle this evening and he ate 3 oz, what a champ! This seemed to relax him and he was sound asleep when we left.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers. God has been so good to us. The next few days will be tough for Matthew so please keep those prayers coming. We truly feel blessed knowing that we have all of you praying so sincerely.
Love, Amy
