Lil' Coyotito is growing bigger and stronger every day. Last you might have heard, he was suffering from a nasty illness last week known as NEC... which is short for several big words, but all you need to know is that he was *not* happy. Neither were mama & papa, who stayed at the hospital to comfort and soothe him.
Coyotito got better, and although he had to take a week off from breastfeeding & became a *very* hungry baby, he continued to grow because of his IV, and mama & papa were there every step of the way.
Last weekend mama & papa moved to their new apartment which they can't wait to show Coyo. Thank you to all of Coyo's friends and family who helped in the incredible task of helping Aparna y Joel move, including Sierra, Patricia, Taura, Ravi, Damian, Wally, Hunter, Eric, Lisa, Josh, Veronica & little Maya, Ann, and Ada. Special shoutouts to Noah and Big Family Movers for moving us. And to all those wonderful people who have fed mama and papa along the way - Mamie, Damian & Edessa, Hunter & Irene, Aimee, Makiko, Maria, Chris & Kimberly, Trang, Sandy, Ada, and James - you have warmed our hearts and kept our bellies full so we can concentrate on healing, moving, and taking care of Coyo.
On Wednesday Coyo began to breastfeed again, and promptly gained several ounces (even after pooping!). As of Thursday night he is now over *FIVE POUNDS*! He is out of the incubator, his IV is going down, and he is even looking a little gordito.
Below are some pictures from the past week. Enjoy!
