Not much has changed for Maks today. He is on all of the same medications and TPN. His poor belly is still full of air, but he seems to be doing okay. I got to hold him today for about an hour, and he tolerated it really well. He didn't have any bradycardia episodes. He had a few desats, but he came out of them quickly on his own. Towards the end of the time I was holding him, he was starting to get really comfortable. He was laying kind of sideways across my chest, and he kept looking up at me. It was so cute and special. I wish I could have somehow captured that moment.
When I went to see him this evening, he was wide awake. The nurse had just changed his diaper and checked his temperature. I got a picture of him and took a video. Of course i think every second in the video is amazing because he is my son. :) If you watch it, you will see a couple of little smiles. And look at those big beautiful eyes! I also wish that pictures and video would do his head full of blonde hair justice. He is such a little toe head! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
That is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. I love how big his eyes are and then as he is falling asleep with that big smile. . . melt my heart.
Maksim Logan Belnap was born January 5, 2013 at just 26 weeks gestation. Due to issues with the placenta, he was only the size of a 24 weeker. He is truly a miracle and continues to fight every day. We have decided to call him Miracle Maks.
I would love to see this video but it won't play. I even downloaded the app. Is there a magic way to view it?
