Despite the on again off again rash and constantly being messed with, Ike-a-saurus was sprung from his hospital bed today, for a few minutes of R&R with mama.
The on-call doc last night said that this little dude needs some lovin' and mama needs some lovin' so it was officially written down that Ike and I need to spend as much arm-in-arm contact as possible. That doc is a good doc. He really doesn't want me to go crazy.
So Ike and I had some squishy time together this morning. It was very nice.

That is one BEAUTIFUL boy you have there, and it makes me weepy with joy that you are getting to hold him. THAT is the best medicine in the world, you him and for you.
