Melanie was able to hold Nathan and she was so excited. These are just some of the machines that they are using on Nathan. It is so amazing that it takes this many machines for one little baby. The day before she got to hold him she had gotten a lot of bad news. First his oxygen tube came out and they had a really hard time getting it back in, they almost lost him. Then they told her that they thought that maybe his kidneys were failing because his diapers were not wet any more. And then his lungs were filling with fluid and so they had to give him some medicine so that they could hopefully suction out some of the stuff in his lungs. Well that worked so that was a releaf and they got the tube back in and they changed some of his medicine and had to move an iv because it went bad. Once they did all that he did so much better. So the next day when they called her and told her that she could hold him for the second time she was so excited. She was able to hold him for almost 3 hours. He is the most amazing little spirit that i have ever been blessed to meet. AMAZING
