I wasn't able to hold my son , Mickey, until he was 42 days old & then for an hour per day until day 80. He too was sensitive to touch & then holding him burned too many calories. 1st diaper change at 42 days and first 1cc of milk with a bottle at day 43. He is now 5 and I remember those moments like yesterday. He of course remembers nada & is the sweetest child you could ever meet. Parker knows you are there loving him through it all. Abby, God will cradle you & carry you through this amazing journey! <br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264371491797777048.post-39507738962366671252012-05-22T17:40:01.768-04:002012-05-22T17:40:01.768-04:00HI!

It's nice to see how loved he is! I checked on him today when I was there dropping off another baby. Thanks for sharing your story. You are a wonderful writer.

The only time I saw a reaction was once when someone banged a cart into a glass door which made a huge bang and her little arms went up into the air with her hands fisted .... so cute!!! It will get better, I promise. Many, many prayers for a good day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <br />HUGS!!!!!<br />Jennifer<br />Mom to Dakota 12-25-2008<br />RCDH/ECMO survivor<br />jennifertrafton@hotmail.comJennifer Tenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964328379682764404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264371491797777048.post-11702840988552402712012-05-22T08:25:12.073-04:002012-05-22T08:25:12.073-04:00Thank you Abby for sharing your story and your fai...Thank you Abby for sharing your story and your faith.

When you get a chance, pray, sing, hold there hands and touch them as much as you can even though they are sensitive to everything. I am so proud of you for being so strong. I couldn't stop crying at first and it was so hard for me to be around Esther at the beginning seeing her that way . Its what I regret the most- not being strong enough to just cry and be and pray and sing and love every moment. You are doing just that. Keep it up. Sending love and prayers from Washington- RhondaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930393102378391357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264371491797777048.post-57347682965764111582012-05-21T23:27:49.081-04:002012-05-21T23:27:49.081-04:00Abby, has anyone considered that he may be in donu...Abby, has anyone considered that he may be in donut withdrawal?! Couldn't you smoosh up some Krispy Kreme and put that through one of those IVs?! <br /><br />Really though, I *know* how hard it is to not be able to comfort your baby or do anything for him when he is upset. I remember that Samuel liked if I held his head in my one hand and his feet in my other, kind of craddling him like he would have been in the womb. I sat like that for hours, my arms through the holes in his isolette, shushing him or praying silently. <br /><br />Hang in, mama. <br />CorinneCorinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570660912330119673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264371491797777048.post-51499986460675518652012-05-21T23:17:52.791-04:002012-05-21T23:17:52.791-04:00Abbi, reading this made me want to cry and laugh a...Abbi, reading this made me want to cry and laugh at the same time. I hate that you can't pick Parker up and comfort him and love on him like Mommy's do with their baby. But I am glad you can still find a sense of humer (bed in corner or writing 100 times) Lol. Praying that Parker does well for the ecmo machine to be turned down and that you all can move forward to have the repair surgery. Love and Prayers from Kershaw, South Carolina!!<br /><br /><br />Shay ConnellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
