The NICU has a family visiting time every Sunday from 2-4, so we were able to take the kids to go see Rebecca today. Kids ages 7 and up can come during normal visiting hours, but we didn't think it would be fair for Jacob to get to see her and not the girls, so we waited. I didn't get any pictures of Jacob because he came in first and I was just visiting with Rebecca during that time and forgot to take a picture. I'm sure I will get another opportunity.
The kids just loved to see her. They had tuns of questions, especially Jacob, about what all the monitors and tubes were for, but they seemed to understand the answers just fine. Jacob loved to watch the monitor showing her breathing because the line goes up and down all over the place. Sarah was pretty quiet while in there touching her and then asked all of her questions after she went back to the waiting room with my sister Wendy. She has to internalize things before she starts asking questions. They all thought it was really neat when she moved around. It is like it is hard for them to believe that she is a living, breathing, moving baby even if she is so tiny.
Rebecca keeps amazing us. She is off of oxygen all together and is breathing on her own! They tried to take her off of the IV as well, but she lost weight so they still give her some protein from the IV as well as giving her my milk. She is getting more milk every day, though, so she should be off of the IV soon. I don't like having the IV in her head, but if that is where it works, I guess it just has to be that way.
