First time to hold Jo Jo
Jeremy and I went up to the hospital last night to see Jolianne and we had a wonderful experience. Because they took her breathing tube out they had her on her belly to sleep. She looked really comfortable with her pacifier in her mouth. After we were there for a little while the nurse swaddled her up and let me hold her. It felt so good to have her in my arms. I never would have thought a week ago that I would be holding my sweet little angel!!!! I also heard her cry for the first time. It was a little raspy because of the breathing tube being in her throat for so long. It was still a very good sound to hear. After I held her the nurse let me help give her a sponge bath. She got very upset with her bath. She was crying and very upset. After her bath she was very alert and opened her eyes to look around. That was the first time that we got to see her with both eyes opened. I know that she can't see very well right now but she was turning her head to the sound of our voices. It was such a special evening of firsts I can't put into words how much it meant to me!!!!Crystal

What a wonderful post! 3 days ago, I thought it would be at least a month before you would get to hold her. Praise the Lord! It must have been an amazing evening. Bet you slept good last night! Did Daddy hold her too? We are so happy for you both! We have our bracelets on. Thank you very much. Will wear it until she gets to come home! Then we'll put purple bows on at least some of those trees at your house! :-)
Love you little JoJo!
