Day Three 4-25-09 Day three Dear Dev

My love,

Last night was great. You had the best nurse named Jill. She has faith in you just like mommy and daddy do. She was great! I slept better knowing that she was there. Your vitals are great and you didnt have any seizures like last night. They took you off of some of the medications and they are finally going to feed you. I know you are starving, these are all great signs. I am so very proud of you, you are so very strong. You are going to gt through this. Today you are only taking 8 breaths from the machine which is great! We're waiting for the doctor to come in and review all of the tests and information they collected. Also, there is a rock garden downstairs and a bunch of rocks have names and prayers on them. Mommy found the biggest one and put your name on it. Thenm the rest of the family wrote a bunch of little ones for you. You should see how many are there for you.

Well, the doctor just came in and informed us how bad off you can be. She said you wont walk to talk, but I know you will. It may take time but I will get you there. Our family will get you there. I am just holding on to the positive things and we will deal with the rest when it comes. I miss your brothers, I am on my way to see Uncle Justin. He is having a hard time with this and I want him to get back into a positive light for you. We also might stop by Papa's house to see the boys. Not sure if I can handle that yet. Devyn I feel numb without you. I need you to find the strength to come back to me. I miss you.

Well, I saw Unlce Justin and he sends his love. I did not go see the boys because I need and want to save all o fmy energy for you tonight. The nurse said that we can give you a bath and I think you might like that. Hopefully that helps you feel better.

We gave you a bath and I WAS RIGHT, You did everything the mean doctor said you wouldnt do! You gagged on the tube, you opened an eye, and you looked at us. You were moving and pushing your legs, you coughed, and you squeezed my hand. You did a wonderful job, I am so proud of you. Daddy is bouncing off the walls, he is so thrilled. He is smiling from ear to ear! We all love you so much! again the nurses are so great I am really happy you are at this hospital. Only the best for my baby boy! You had a lot of visitors today, and now you are resting. That is what's best for you right now. I am so tired, I think I finally might be able to get some rest knowing you are getting there! Mommy loves you my sweet boy. Keep holding Gods hand, you are safe with him Devyn.

Love,
Mommy
