...was heard tonight. We actually got to hear Nate cry tonight for the first time since he was extubated this weekend. I was able to get him out of the isolette tonight and hold him. He was very vocal for a few minutes until he found a comfortable spot on my chest, at which point he went to sleep and stayed asleep and quiet. He was wide eyed at first and kept lifting his head and looking around, turning his head side to side. I had no idea he had that much strength already. I had seen him turn his head, but not lift it up, hold it up, and look around. I kept telling him- "I don't think you are supposed to be doing that yet", but he wasn't listening to me. I have a feeling this is the first of many things he won't be listening to.

Leeann and Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI finally got your info. and am enjoying reading up on Nate. I know our visits are quick but I just wanted you both to know how much meeting you and talking with you has meant to Chris and I. Even my family finds great comfort in your presence and we are so gracious that we have kind people like you to talk with through this time in our lives. I'm happy to hear that you guys HEARD Nate. That is awesome. John will most likely have the surgery (his murmur was still heard tonight after his third dose of the 2nd series of Neoprophin(sp)). John gets an his eko (sp) tomorrow to see but time will tell. Take care and see you soon!
PS-John's website is:

Thank you for giving us the idea to make one.
You know... every time I read this, I get chills. Even now, I remember the sound of my children crying for the first time. It's an awesome sound.

He is indeed strong for his age. He's doing what newborns don't do and he's not even due yet.
ReplyDeleteYep, you're right, this is the first of many many times he won't listen. You are blessed that he is able to do this. Go Nate!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for keeping us up to date on how Nate is doing. I am so glad he is strong, well and learning to "sing"!
ReplyDeleteGo Team WWB! Glad he's found his voice!
