We got to spend a lot of time with Lalo this morning. We found out his birth weight was 7 lbs 8 oz and about 20 inches (they had it wrong but didn't want to move him to get an exact measurement). He had an echo of his heart this morning and we haven't gotten the official results yet but it seems like it went pretty well. They have been adjusting meds to regulate his blood pressure. Right now they seem pretty stable but not always as high as they want them. As we expected we can't hold him bc of all the cords and tubes and such. They also don't want us to touch him very much bc it could affect his pressure and they want to save the stimulation for any medical procedures.
To add to the chaos there was a shooting here this morning. Luckily we were in the nicu at the time so we were locked in with baby instead of Sarah's hospital room. A little while ago they relaxed the restrictions a bit so we were able to get back to our room and get something to eat. Fina is with us now - luckily she was in surgery this morning bc the shooting was on her floor.
Thank you for all the well wishes!

Just wanted to let you both know that I put him on our church prayer list. You can't have too many people praying for him. I'm sorry that you are not able to hold him but just being with him and talking to him will help him know that he is loved by both of you. Love you both. Jill Asher
