Mr. Lukas

I was able to go see Mr. Lukas last Monday. Sofie was still at Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake so I wasn't able to see her but it was great to be able to see Luke. While I was there, they told us that they would be closing the NICU to parents only. I was bummed that I wont be able to continue to go see these precious babies. Ms Sofie was finally moved back to be with her brother the day that the restrictions started so I wasn't able to see her one last time! It was great to be able to see Luke one last time until he is able to come home. He is the cutest thing and so so tiny still! I hadn't seen Luke since he had been off the vent and so when the nurse was taking out his pic line I actually got to hear him cry. (I have a video of it but cant get it on here. Any one able to help?!?)


He is also the most un-photogenic baby that I have met and I was actually able to get a couple good ones of him.




He is really funny and hides his face a lot!



As I was getting ready to leave that evening, the nurse was changing him and feeding him and asked if I would like to hold him. Well duh!! I needed to get home but the chance to hold Luke, I just couldn't pass it up. It was amazing to be able to hold him!!!



I would like to tell Lacie and Jake THANK YOU for letting me be on "the list" to be able to see these precious babies! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Thank you for letting me hold Mr. Lukas, he is totally amazing as is Sofia! I can't even imagine how hard this last month as been on both of you as well as the months to come will be. You both have amazing strength! I know that there is no way that I would be as emotionally or spiritually strong as you have been. You are both an inspiration to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of this trying time. I love all four of you lots and lots!! I can't wait until I can hold and love on both of these little miracles whenever I want. THANK YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!
