My first time I got to bond with him was the day I got discharged, all of his tubes came out last night i got to feed him and change baby Joey. The nurses said it's my love that made him progress, he leaves the NICU and goes to continue care today and hopefully we'll be home this weekend please pray for us. After having 3 major surgeries Fri they discharged me with a 101.3 fever, let a uti go unwashed to day of discharge making the pain a million times worse , but when I fondant got to hold him we made each other do a compete turn around. I told him mommy can hold you and kiss you and never let you go but you need to fight and get better so your tubes can come out and he listened the very next morning they said he just needed his mama, I was the only one who soothes him.
