Nothing But Good News!

As I always say, Deklyn is doing awesome! On his 6 week birthday they took some x-rays for the study and all I can say is I am amazed... I had no doubt Deklyns bones would grow but I didn't know we would see such an incredible change in just 6 weeks! Sorry to hold you all in suspense but we want to show our family the x-rays first so as soon as that is done I will post them on here :) Believe me, it is something to be excited about! You don't see doctors get excited much, but when you hear how amazed they are you know its good!

There is something they call Kangaroo Care in NICU that most mom's get to do. I honestly tried not to think about it a whole lot because I thought I wouldn't get to do that for months yet! I saw other mom's do it and I just couldn't wait for my chance! This afternoon I went back to NICU and walked over to Deklyns bed and his nurse asked me if I'd be interested in doing Kangaroo Care and I almost fell over! I said "Of course!!" and as long as everyone felt it was safe for Deklyn I would love to! She told me everyone was on board and if I wanted we could do it in a few mintues!

The nurses told me not to worry if he didn't like it we would try again another time. He's been on his back since he was born so this was a big change for him! I was also concerned about something going wrong and him losing his tube or something but we had all the right people around to help in case something went wrong. I got to picked him up for the first time without anything underneath him and bring him to my chest. He absolutely loved it and I was able to sit with him for over an hour like that!

All the doctors and nurses were so proud of him and told me this can be a regular thing! Our little guy is just amazing us every day with his improvements and how he handles new things. He is one tough little guy that is for sure! I can't wait for when he is older and I  can tell him over and over again all the things he went through and how much God helped him and us through it all.
