It has been one week since Jacob's last close call with the Grim Reaper. Thankfully this week has been pretty much uneventful. The incompetent nurses have been replaced with caring, smart and nurturing ones. You really can tell when a nurse cares. Her patient is not just another job but a human being. To me, Jacob is not just another baby, he is my son. A parent knows exactly what that means.
As we were trying to do last week, we are getting the twins into a routine. Jacob's easygoing nature is making this a piece of cake. Christina has introduced Jacob to the wonder that is "real" food. He has been started on applesauce and some bananas. He seems to enjoy the taste but hasn't got the whole opening of the mouth thing down yet. In the photo below Jake is being upstaged by his sister. She just couldn't resist leaning into the shot. Am I raising a Diva?
This blog tracks the progress and setbacks of a child with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Jacob and his twin sister were born on February 8, 2011. His sister was born with a normal heart.
