Another great day today, Elijah was awake and playing practically all day! I think he might have taken a total of 2 hours in naps all day! It's so strange since he's been so out of it and sleepy until now. I guess he's trying to make up for all his lost time :-)
Since he's been more awake and playful, he is also starting to try talking a little more. His voice is still very raspy, but it is getting better and better. He's also moving around a lot more. The physical therapist came in today to take a look at him. She said he's doing great with his arms, but she wants him to start moving his legs a little more. So we need to rub them and help him exercise them a little bit. She also helped him sit up and work on his neck control. It's a little strange because he's almost like a little baby again, learning how to hold up his head and sit and roll over and such. It will probably be a while until he is fully recovered and walking around again. I'm assuming when we go down to the peds floor we will have more freedom for him to get out of the crib and work on moving around.
We held him some more today, which we love of course, but it also seems to get him worked up and it gets all the cords tangled and what not. So it is pretty difficult to hold him, and we are hoping he will have less attached him when we go to peds floor.
Speaking of going down to the peds floor, we may be going tomorrow, but that's not a guarantee. The doctors up here are being cautious with him because he is prone to crashing so quickly. But today he has been fantastic so we will see!
That's all for today, we are so thrilled to see our baby recovering and being himself! Keep the prayers coming, they are working! :-D
