Oliver is doing good. He does have moments where he gets very upset and is hard to settle down. It's hard when you can't hold him and cuddle him. We aren't sure if it's due to pain or if he's getting flustered with being in the prone position. He has to be in the prone position for 6 more days so his back will heal properly from his spinal surgery. We have him in a regularly pain med (Tylenol) schedule today and that seems to really help. Hold on little buddy! (P.S.- the bald spots on his head are from where they tried to start an IV, but they couldn't find a usable vein... And thus he stopped getting pain meds!... And he got his first haircut, NICU style)
Oliver loves skin to skin with mom, it gives his neck a break and he's able to put his head straight down. The only way we are allowed to do skin to skin is with Josh or I laying flat on a couch and Oliver in the prone position on top of us.
