25 January p.m. updates
today's positives
Kyle and Everett spent the day together at Monster Jam (a monster truck show). Upon his return to the hospital, Kyle shared pictures and videos and stories relaying the joy in Everett's eyes and the enjoyment Kyle had with our first baby.
My best people were here with me to hug me and hold me and make sure I ate and help me leave the building for a little bit. We couldn't feel more supported right now
Finn has had a really uneventful day which in the ICU means it's been a good day he is resting and working and fighting . I know that the light and love and prayers and hope are here with him
Our birth Doula just met me in the hospital chapel and offered a massage and some reflexology to help me relax, help me sleep, and help me make milk. She's working with Kyle on relaxation massage now. Both mama and daddy will get some sleep tonight.
We have pictures of Finn pre-RSV hanging in our room. And, we have a focal point. One of our bucket list family vacations is a hiking/camping trip through Denali NP. More on that focal point later . . .
Tony
Tony, a navy veteran, was our day nurse. Tony was a great fit for Kyle and a great fit with our family. He was organized, clear, and concise. He had a method. He got sh*t done. We didn't feel like he was sugarcoating anything, so when he said goodbye at the end of his shift and said, "Finn had a great day" it meant a lot. Getting to know Tony yesterday was great -- he's one of our country's successfully transitioned veterans. He made a drastic career change after the military. He used his Post 9/11 GI Bill to do it. Meeting him yesterday just reminded me that Kyle and I have been living right. We do good, and good begets good.
Love Wins.
Finn Strong.
