A day with no big events....

Ahhhh... made it through another day. Kean just gets cuter and cuter. The IV on his head (the nurse calls it a unicorn IV) is still working. Keep your fingers crossed. We need it to stay effective for a few more days of antibiotics. He's still sleeping a lot but his stomach infection is looking better and better with each day.
Kean had his first male nurse today, a guy named Dan that I just loved. Talk about compassionate. This will make you smile. As I mentioned yesterday, we are doing "recreational" breast feeding-- trying to get Kean used to the breast and trying to get him to latch on for a minute or two (which he did today for a whopping 4 minutes). What a fighter.
Anyway, today marks the first day I've ever had a man (Dan) show me-- using his own breast-- how to manually express a few drops of milk the correct way. By the way, "manually" is not meant as a pun. It was a sitcom in the making.
Some of you have asked about my physical strength. I can tell you that I've been blessed to quickly get enough energy to walk to the NICU without the burning and swelling I had last week. So progress... Just don't ask me to help you move.
Thanks to Pam and Elly for taking me and picking me up today.
