First I want to thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and the help we’ve been getting in various areas. I cannot tell you how much it means to us to know that we have such wonderful family and friends who are praying for Robert and for us. The huge positive response we have been getting has left me in tears a few times. You all really mean a lot to us.
This has been a very difficult and stressful week for us, as I’m sure you can imagine. It’s impossible to get enough sleep and to help my body recover properly but I’m trying. My main concern is for Robert, and Christopher and I spend every moment we can beside his bed rubbing his head and his hands and just watching him. I cannot get over how beautiful he is and what a delight he has been to us already.
We are very impressed with the care Robert is getting at this hospital (CHOP). His nurses are always very attentative and they answer all of our questions with care. They are only assigned one other baby besides Robert so they are able to spend a lot of time with him when we can’t which is a huge comfort to me. I hate to think of my baby crying and not having anyone around to comfort him.
We were told that we should be able to bring him home by Friday if all continues to go well, so we are hoping that the week flys by and we can come home this weekend with our son. I can’t wait for you all to meet him. My family has gotten to see Robert but they have not been able to hold or spend time with him and I can’t wait for them to be able to do so. It will also be nice to be back home in our own surroundings and have a real chance to get to know Robert and he us.
Please continue to pray for us all. We hope to see you soon!
