Thanks so much for all of the advice & reassurance on Britton's lack of sleep. I was hoping that he was just going through a phase or that it was an adjustment to being off the phenobarbitol. Whatever the cause, I am happy to report that he has turned it around and is getting some good sleep these days! It started off with him finally napping in his crib during the day, and then he quickly started sleeping through the night. He has slept through the night for the past 4 nights! And last night, he went 12 hours. I think he is a much happier baby when he gets some good sleep. So we are glad for that!
Here are some pictures of him taken over the last week...
When our son was very sick in the NICU, a friend monogrammed his initials on a blanket for us. As she stitched the letters B - G - D, she thought of the phrase "By God's Design" ... as surely our son's condition did not take Him by surprise. Even as our son came home and has continued to thrive, and as our family has recently grown by adoption, we rest in knowing that all of this has been By God's Design.
Britton
Britton is our little miracle boy! He came into this world on his way out of it. Born without a heartbeat, he joined the land of the living when he was nine minutes old. He has made an amazing recovery since, and is truly our beautiful, little miracle boy … our gift from God! He spends his days learning to be a sweet big brother and just generally being ALL BOY.
