Cooper continues to improve. He has been under the bilirubin lights for the last day and a half to treat a mild case of jaundice so I have not been able to hold him, but he has made improvements so they let him come out from under the lights while I was there this morning and hold him!
He continues to get some of his supplements through an IV. Unfortunately, they had to remove the one he had in his hand because it was leaking and put it in his head. Poor C! The nurse assured me it does not bother him. :-(
He slept soundly in my arms and then when we put him back in his bed he was wide awake for about 5 minutes kicking and squirming everywhere. So fun to see those eyes wide open. Here he is below just a kicking away!
The nurse told me they are going to move him out from under the big biliruben lights this afternoon and put him in the next step which is a swaddle blanket with the lights under the blanket. This will let him be able to take the mask off and actually look around the room when he is awake. This will also take him out from under the heating lamp, so hopefully he will not have any issues keeping his body temperature up. Keep praying!
