Bodie rides in style

Bodie just got transferred to CHLA! He's in the CTICU and they're stabilizing him right now, so I thought I'd pop out and give you a quick update. At about 2pm, they told us they had finalized everything and Bodie would be transported to CHLA between 3 and 3:30 - and they asked me if I wanted to ride with him!!! I was so excited to be taking the next step toward getting our little man well. So, my mom and I hurried to get my room packed up, get me discharged and headed back up to the NICU.

The transport team from CHLA is, in a word, amazing. My mom said they looked like the Navy Seals, and she was totally right - I was in awe of the way they works and how wonderfully they handled Bodie. The best part was that when I mentioned I hadn't held him yet, they stopped what they were doing, looked at me for a second and said "we'll change that today." So, once he was ready to go, they swaddled him and let me hold him!!!! I was in tears - I couldn't believe it! Here are some pics...(and, btw, his hair is SO blonde - I didn't know until today since I hadn't seen the back of his head yet)...
