Update on Carson
After a very long stressful day Carson seems to be doing a little bit better. We went back up to the hospital around 6:00 pm to find the two Grandma's in their rocking chairs next to the boys. We're so lucky to have family near by who can just be there with them when Andrew and I are physically and emotionally exhausted.
Carson was moving around more and even grabbing on to my fingers and opening his eyes, which he hasn't done for us yet! Whereas this morning he was not responsive at all. I at least got to leave the hospital with a little hope that he was starting to do a little better. It's still hard to leave them at all, but I know they are in the best care where they are. It's even harder to go to bed and wake up wondering what kind of report we will hear in the morning.
Cooper is still holding his own. He was really wiggling around a lot. He was playing with his big toes which was so cute. Andrew got to massage some cream on his toes and I think he liked it. Nothing better than a massage from dad. He's still a little swollen from being paralyzed but not as much. More so in his chest from laying flat. The nurses have told us that both boys have the sweetest little faces in the whole NICU. I must say I agree with them.

Isn't it amazing how strong those teeny, tiny hands are!!? I'm always amazed by baby strength!
Good luck keeping baby toys away from Bo - she looks tall enough to reach all the toy shelves to me!
