Day 2

Today has been much more normal than yesterday, but still busy! It's 6:15 now and we have a few visitors today. Grandma and Grandpa Baughman arrived at about 9:30 and finally got to see their first grandchild. They were super excited, but I had already warned Cole that Grandpa Baughman was coming and to keep an eye on him; you never know what Ol' Reid will do! We got a surprise visit from some of Megan's relatives, which was awesome! Her Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Don, along with her cousin Marissa, arrived and promptly got a chance to see Cole. They only stayed for about an hour and we are so grateful that they drove so far to see us! Cole mostly sleeps, so not too many people get a chance to hold him, but Aunt Phyllis and Grandma and Grandpa Baughman were able to hold him.

Around lunch time, Lyndsey and Kyle Ballenger arrived and we had some laughs; it was great to see the both of them! In the afternoon, Kate R. visited for the 2nd time and Neetie and Paw-Paw Stojakovich arrived. We also received a surprise visit from Dave Robinson, the Head Minister at White Oak Christian. What an awesome gift to have him come and pray with Cole, Mom, Dad, and Grandma Baughman! Danielle and Steph dropped in around dinner time. Danielle was able to offer a ton of advice (she works at the neo-natal care unit at Good Sam) and Steph was able to take some notes as she and her husband Tony are expecting their 1st child! As they were leaving (which happened while writing this post) Amy Fitz arrived to visit!

Holy Surprise!! Chad, Amy, Logan, & Avery Stojakovich JUST arrived, unexpectedly, from Nashville!! YEA!!!

As I finish this post, Cole is doing well and he is supposed to start his first ooportunity to feed at 8pm tonight. Unfortunately, he has to stay until at least Wednesday as they have discovered a bacteria in his blood work. It's not anything major, they just want to take care of him and make sure they kill that bacteria with antibiotics. Physically he is great, responding to sound and light and noises. He is pooping and peeing, yawning, sneezing, and doing baby things. He looks and sounds great, but mostly he just sleeps, which is great for him as he recovers from his traumatic events. I have included some pics below. Thanks to all of you for keeping Cole and Mom Baughman in your prayers, they are definitely working! See you all next time and feel free to leave comments here on the blog!
