Ohhhhh Cooper has been so happy this afternoon!! We have been pumping him full of formula the last couple of days to try and fatten his tummy up, and help the button plug up a bit better, and its working! Happy baby, and no leaks. When he is happy, it really washes away all my fears, anxieties and worries about the future. If I could just keep him happy and smiling everyday, it really doesnt matter about the rest. When he is okay, our household is completely different, I see only the good. When he is upset, angry or in pain, it is hard to see any good. We have started using melatonin at night before bed, to try and assist with sleep, because as you know, we had been getting none. Weve seen a great improvement already on just a small dose. He goes to sleep easier, wakes up a little less often during the night, and if he does wake up, it doesnt take us till 5am to get him back to sleep. Children who have sustained brain injuries (particularly HIE) are often poor sleepers. They have trouble napping, have difficulty staying asleep during the night, and some have no circadian rhythm. This is because melatonin has been depleted in the brain, and we all need a certain level of melatonin to sleep well. This festive season was a success, and Cooper received many generous presents from his followers! Thank you, we are grateful beyond words, you know who you all are! I also wanted to let you know that we are on Instagram, if you wanted to see more regular photos of Cooper. Find us at EM_N_LUC , and beware, daddy is the one that runs the Instagram account! I think hes enjoying the hashtags more than anything :). This video cracks me up, Coop is trying to copy Lucan and put his finger in his cheek, and make a pop noise when pulling it out. Great effort by the little man!!
