The NICU staff gave the OK for Mom to visit Loki, but just not open the warm box. This morning, an informal conversation with the neonatologist didn't turn up any significant developments. Loki behaves well and sleeps much. I suppose the little dude just abides.
Last night I watched him sleep. I think he can open his eyes and remain sleeping, like birds and gangsters. Or maybe he was checking me out and thinking, "Meh, sleeping is still cooler than dad." But when he did wake, his eyes are open much wider than before, and they move side to side a bit.
I fed him for the first time. Not quite a "Gerber moment" (in the words of Nurse Janet), but still neat. I connected a 1 mL syringe to an opening on his feeding tube, and pushed in Mom's milk, followed by a bit of air. Yum.
Grandma flew home this morning. Oma and Opa will return today or tomorrow.
