6 February 0800
Have you seen the movie Wild? Read the book? If not, you should. Read the book first, if you can. A few weeks ago Kyle, Finn, and I enjoyed a "day date." I was so excited to see Cheryl Strayed's story depicted on the big screen. Kyle was excited to see Reese Witherspoon hike the PCT. Finn slept and nursed the whole movie. Win. Win. Win.
This quote caught me hard during the movie:
“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every day, and you can choose to be there for it. You can put yourself in the way of beauty.”
We had another beautiful sunrise this morning.
And Finn is well on his way to another great day. Finn is receiving 2 liters of oxygen through a small nasal cannula. Today, Finn and I will start breast feeding again. Finn's sedation medications continue to be weaned at a slow and safe pace for his body. There's a buzz in the air about "moving to the floor" and out of the ICU. Wow. Amen. Hallelujah. Wow. Our boy is starting to look like himself again.
Please continue to lift us up in your thoughts and prayers. Finn and I will be getting to know each other again. I'm certain our mother-child bond and instincts will return quickly. I'm also scared. Will his "oooohs" and "coos" mean the same thing they meant three weeks ago? Will a red face and active legs still indicate it's about time for massive diaper blow out? Will his gaze follow mine? Okay. Enough of those questions.
