Noodles - Saturday Oct 25

We didn't meet with the doctors today. We just met with Lewis. Nate and Uncle Jordan met Lewis for the first time. Nate calls his baby brother Noodles (a name he picked out well before Lewis was born). Nate looked a little nervous in the waiting area beforehand.

(thanks to Uncle Jordan for the great pics today)

Today was mostly about cuddling with Lewis. He's breathing well, but still having the same problems with not swallowing his secretions. His feeds are up to 26 ml/h of milk and should stay there for a while, he's no longer getting any other IV feeds (just meds via IV). Jordan, Nate and I visited for the morning and Jenn stayed for much of the afternoon, joined by Hank & Judy (aka Didi & Bop).

Very little else to report. Lewis is sleeping a lot and seems to have cleared some of the congestion in his lungs, according to the nurse. Nate did really well visiting Lewis. When he got tired of looking ("He doesn't talk? Does he like Thomas? Does he have any toys?") Nate drew a picture, which is now hanging in Lewis' crib.
