After Adrienne told me that she got to hold Eli yesterday, I couldn't just sit back and let her have all of the fun, so Caleb and I went to visit Mommy and Eli in the hospital today. I got to hold Eli for the first time in over a week and it was everything I hoped it would be. Adrienne had just fed him 5cc via bottle and then handed him to me, so he was content and happy and just melted in my arms. Good day for Daddy indeed!
I have loved being home with Caleb the last couple days and I think he really likes being at home with a parental unit after the craziness of the last couple weeks. He's mostly back to his old self being a good, compliant little boy. Even at the hospital he was back to chatting up everybody and wandering into people's rooms to say "Hi, you're watching TV!" and then walking out. Luckily everyone just smiles and says how cute he is rather than being annoyed at an invasion of their personal space.
Here are a few more pics of Eli from yesterday and today:

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much you guys and this little warrior have been through. You are a family of warriors! Little Caleb had his own fight too. Just amazing. It's so wonderful to see you guys getting to operate a little more normally all together. Can't wait to hug each of you! Love you guys so much and still praying over baby Eli especially.
