Thursday Night...In Mommy's Arms

Being able to hold Kohl throughout the day made us both feel better, I think.  He got to be where he wanted to be, in my arms, and I felt as though there was something I could do to make him feel better.  Knowing I could hold him through the night assured me that we would both catch up on some sleep. 

Being that it was Thursday night and I had yet to turn the tv on since we arrived (not that I have had any desire to), and Kohl was feeling a lil better, Mommy claimed one element of normalcy and watched Grey's Anatomy at 8 p.m.  (of course with baby Kohl in my arms).  It really wasn't that good though...I didn't care for how they crammed all the holidays into one episode, and the tv was so dark, I really couldn't see it that well (we never could find a way to adjust the brightness/contrast.)  And the shrill but muffled sound that comes through that lil handheld speaker (the hospital remote on a cord) was nerve wreckin' too!  Oh well...I tried. And I can say I haven't missed an episode of my fav show this season yet!  lol  I usually go ahead and watch Private Practice...but the tv situation was just gettin' on my nerves so I just turned it off.

After that, Kevin, Kohl, and I settled down to get some rest.  Kohl woke up once to eat, get a diaper change and take his meds.  He got his last dose of antibiotics through the iv and of course his pain meds.  The nurse explained that he'd prolly move to oral pain meds the next day and get the iv out, which was good, cuz it was gettin' difficult to flush, meaning a new iv would have otherwise been in the very near future.  But thankfully it flushed and worked.  Hopefully it'll work for whatever he needs it to tomorrow.  He stayed awake and content for about 30 minutes and then settled back down to sleep on my chest.  It was a peaceful night as one could have sleeping in a vinyl lazy boy, but I'm thankful for this lazy boy...I can recline with him a bit and keep on rockin.  I'm so thankful to have gotten a good nights sleep with my lil man cradled safe, and cozy comfy in my arms.  Thank you Jesus, again, for keeping him safe and for giving him such a good day.
