Day 4 is a Better Day

Well Lucas finally calmed down this morning and has been good all day. Unfortunately the doctor could not get the spinal tap done, Lucas was just not hydrated enough to be successful, they will try again tomorrow. I arrived around 3:30 this afternoon to find Lucas mad at his nurse. She had me scrub up and place my hand on top of body (it almost covered all of him) and stop him from frailing around. He calmed right down for grandma. I had the magic touch! He is sooooooo little we were taught not to stroke his skin, or make any loud noises; both would hurt him. We have found Lucas doesn't like the noises of the alarms on the equipment. He also likes to pull his little mask off to see out, but he will be under the lights until his bruising has stopped and his billiruben is gone. The good news is it was down today.
Amber is much better today and will be discharged from the hospital by midnight tonight. I got them a room at the motel across the street for the next two nights. Hopefully then we will know more regarding our little boy. Amber needs to supply milk for the hospital so it is more convienent being so close rather than almost an hour away. We will have pics later tonight.
