Relax!

Jude is looking better all the time in that he is pink (from the transfusion), and he is more relaxed. The nurse this evening was concerned with him flexing his feet and keeping his hands in fists, so she put a blanket under his feet and he has started to let his feet rest there. They also upped his fentanyl to a very low dose drip that is helping him to relax. He's about halfway through his treatment and due to be warmed up on Monday. It will take about 6 hours to bring Jude back to regular baby temperature. We'll most likely be able to hold him for the first time on Monday evening :) We will be going home tomorrow, and I'm going to focus on getting the house ready for Jude to come home rather than the fact he is not home yet. I feel like he needs to be at the hospital, so while I want him home with us, I don't worry about him in the NICU. Plus, the time at home will give us full nights of rest before he comes home and time for me to continue to heal.

Tonight when I grabbed Jude's foot, he moved his other foot over to touch my hand too.
