Cooling blanket Day 1 - 5

From Saturday, September 8th at 8:40pm through Thursday, September 13th at 8:40pm Benjamin was on the cooling blanket and pretty much slept the whole time. His body was basically in a medically induced coma in hopes of allowing his brain and other vital organs to get the rest they needed to try to recover from the shock they experienced at birth as well as try to prevent further damage.

During this week we spent a lot of time talking to him, praying over him, singing to him and holding his hand. We were not able to hold him since he had to maintain the lowered body temperature.
