We arrived at the Hospital at about 2pm today and Vicki(Reece's nurse) inform us that Reece had been awake much of the morning and that he was really sleepy, but would not give up and go to sleep. All it took for the little guy to fall asleep was for daddy to place him in his mommies arms. Reece slept from 2 until we left him at 7:30 and he spent all of the time in Mommy, Daddy and Maga's arms
The highlight of the day was Ben getting to come back to the nursery and see Reece. This is the first time that Ben has gotten to see his little brother since he left Holland Hospital. He was really good with Reece and the nurses all loved seeing him. It was great to have the entire family togather even if it was only for a few minutes.
It really nice to know that when we leave his Grandparents are staying around and rocking him to sleep after his care.
Thank you to all of you that are praying for our family.

Sounds like you had as enjoyable a Sunday as you can with a little one in the hospital. Glad Ben got to be in on the family time, and that you got some quality cuddle time with Reece. Continuing to hold you all up in prayers!

Hi there Nykamps - I was the nurse who took care of you and Reece on postpartum the day he was first started on the phototherapy bed at Holland Hospital...I was SHOCKED to hear that he got NEC the next day!
ReplyDeleteHis continued healing and the refining of your faith are evidences of God's grace. Thank you for sharing the updates! Prayers - Jenny
