Poor Elijah. As his head circumference grows daily so does his discomfort and pain. Bath time is especially difficult for him. We give him some meds before bath time to try and make it more tolerable for him....it just takes the edge off. He froths at the mouth and shakes. Here are some pics after bath...he is trying to settle down.
We have not seen a smile from him yet...his birth mom said he has only smiled once. We are hoping and praying once the pressure is relieved with the shunt he will begin to show more emotions other than crying from pain.

Have been praying for little Elijah all day today. Praying that the pressure in his head can be relieved until his shunt surgery. My heart aches for him.
ReplyDeleteThank you for caring for him. For giving him a chance. I'm so looking forward to the updates after his surgery.
He is a beautiful baby ... we hope that the surgery will relieve the pressure and give him the hope we so want for him. He is so loved by his family here in the states and they are wonderful to him ...
