For the past week, they've been keeping Ford on his tummy 24 hours a day, to ease the compression of his left lung. Luckily, he likes being on his tummy. For the most part.
Because of his persistent fevers, he is usually enveloped in the "Bair Hugger", a big duvet type thing that is filled with and blows cool air on him. It works best at keeping him afebrile, without needing ice or tylenol.
He does get turned over each time his "tapes" - the tape keeping endotracheal tube in place - need to be fixed.
Today they let him stay on his back for an hour where it's a lot easier for him to play with his toys!
Then back on his tummy, and back to sleep.

Oh beautiful beautiful. Such big, delicious eyes! Looks like the swelling around them and in his face has gone down, so lovely to really see you face Mr. Ford! Sounds like a good day, I wish for more like this as you wait ... xo

ReplyDeleteIt's no contest... Ford is the most beautiful baby of them all. And in case you may think me biased - I'm sure an Angus Reid poll would confirm this. It's pretty much a fact. So much love shines through the lens in each photo... from parent to child, an all encompassing, visually exquisite, loving lullaby.
ReplyDeleteOh Ford I LOVE you! I LOVE you! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful photos of our babe. He looks peaceful as he sleeps and waits...
ReplyDeleteblessings to all
Love Nana and Grandpa xoxoxo
Ford IS so handsome. He is a big guy! I bet he is on the upper per centile?
ReplyDeleteYou are quite tall Nick? ...and your Dad was tall Christa! What about your parents Nick?
Ford's eyelashes must be 1/2 inch long!
Love that he is interested in his toys!
What a sweetheart! He just makes one melt!
I agree, Ford is so handsome. He looks comfortable on his tummy. I'm glad they finally listened to you and are keeping him there. :)
