We had such a great day with Rohen today! His swelling has gone down so much, and he finally looks like himself. My dad came to visit, and he almost had to ask the nurse if that was his grandson because he looks so different without all that extra fluid. He looks so much like Matt, which makes Daddy proud. They took his I.V. out today, and they are feeding him milk every 3 hours. They are still feeding him through a tube in his nose, but we are working on getting him to eat on his own. So far he's not quite getting that concept. I think this is going to be our next biggest hurdle to get him home now. We are expecting another week or so at least, but the sooner the better! I can't wait to get him here. Now that he has gotten rid of some of his accessories (breathing tube, IV, head wrap) we were able to give him his first bath. He seemed to really enjoy the warm water, and I had fun spending this time with him. Once we got him cleaned up we put him in clothes for the first time. He is getting better every day. I love my little baby, and we are so blessed to have him in our lives.
