Day 4 of Life - UPDATE
Sha continues to cause problems for his nurses...the little bugger keeps moving around! He got to see and touch Grandma Cush, Grandma McF, Grandpa McF, Uncle Kabooblah and Aunt Nabooblah today. Tomorrow is Auntie's (that's me) turn (hee hee). More family bonding...more touches of love. The little one continues to improve and is still a little superstar. I'm positive that the love and support from all of you is helping. Thanks so much!
Uncle Kabooblah has asked me to say that he thinks that Sha is the cutest nephew he could have asked for. (Although he's supposed to be studying for his exam tomorrow!!!!)
Yesterday, Ma and I went to the NICU to see Sha together for the first time. God, he is beautiful...the most beautiful baby in the whole wide world (although, I might be a bit biased). We just stood and stared at him (crying of course), marvelling at the fact that Ma is now a mommy...and her little boy is here! Life is a beautiful and sometimes messy miracle...but a miracle just the same. And staring into that incubator, I was in awe. (Okay, enough...or I'll be sobbing again!!!)
Ma is also causing problems for her nurses, but not in the good way that her son is. No more walking, we're told. I'm not sure how much more they can take away from her. It hasn't worked so far! Blood pressure went even higher this morning...unbelievable. Her doctors and nurses don't understand how she can have absolutely NO symptoms!!! They gave her another dose of the other medication and her diastolic pressure (the bottom...and the most important one) dropped from 110 to 76 in 10 minutes!!! They doubled checked it to make sure it was right. They were confused as to why she wasn't lying passed out on the floor! That's our Ma though...too damn stubborn to even feel like fainting if she doesn't want to!
I want to reassure you all...although Ma's blood pressure is out of control...emotionally and physically (other than the blood pressure), she is much more herself. She is in good spirits and is pretty much back to her sarcastic, enjoyable self!

Well Sha,
I can't believe you are here and that anyone could possibly want to show up early to hang out with us "crazy" people!!!
So happy you are safe and sound and surrounded by people that love you!!!
