visiting conley late at night is nice. things are chill and quiet in the NICU. he just hangs out, waves at us from time to time, and breathes (without a respirator, still). i got to change his diaper (about the size of a baseball card when folded) and take his temperature. that was neat. we don't touch him a whole lot because too much stimulation isn't good for him. but when i get the quick chance to put the tip of my finger snugly into his little hand, or just rest my hand on his body in order to help him be calm, it's like a small serving of a really great meal that your mom is cooking. when she's not looking, you pick up the cover of the pan and spoon out just a little. just enough to keep you going until 6:00 when it will be fully served up. we can't wait to just hold him. thanks for your thoughts and prayers. one day at a time.
