We sat and sang to him. It's amazing how stress can make you forget all the lyrics to every song you know! We couldn't sing a single song all the way through. I guess we'll have to print off 'cheat sheets' with lyrics. Any recommendations of good songs to sing?
He is incredibly tiny. He now has a new roommate in the 'critical care' section of the NICU - and she seems HUGE (even though she is also tiny).
We both held his hand as much as possible. The pictures with us really put his teeny tiny size into perspective.
Here is Asaf holding Daddy's hand:
Here is Daddy standing next to the isolette:
Here is Mommy standing next to the isolette:
Here is a video of Mommy saying 'good night':
We are hoping and praying for good news tomorrow...
Beautiful video (and photos!) I pray little Asaf's kidney begin to function properly ASAP!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song to sing to babies is "Baby Beluga"
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, baby beluga,
Is the water warm? Is your mama home,
With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends.
We like to hear you.
When it's dark, you're home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun.
You'll soon be waking.
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.
I hope and pray that all will be okay with Asaf and that he continues to put up a fight.
ReplyDeleteIt is so special that you get to touch him. I am thinking of you guys and praying for the best. Yehudit
ReplyDeleteLeora & David; My heart aches for your loss and my soul prays for Asaf's health and peace. I cannot imagine what his little body is enduring and how strong his will is. Find strength wherever you can and hold onto it with all your might. Sending prayers and healing light over the oceans.... Sonya (DandMe)
ReplyDeleteSending you prayers, hugs and lots of love to you, David and Asaf, I am praying his kidneys start working. I really enjoyed the pictures of you holding hands.
