Not much new to report since yesterday. The nurse today did take Isaac off the HI-FLOW this morning and put him onto the regular nasal cannula. He’s still taking most of his feedings from bottle. Angie just finished giving him his 2:30 feeding where he took 32 of 44 cc’s. Side note: cc’s & ml’s […]
Read MoreThe NICU isn’t a place you usually hear much laughter. With a name like Isaac (which means “he will laugh”) I would expect nothing less from this little one. And the proof: He just farted on his mom. I heard it on the other side of the room. She’s now turning up her nose from […]
Read MoreIsaac is a week old today… is that a “birthday” to celebrate? Either way, we are celebrating him like it’s our job! Last night was a good night. – His little lungs are still progressing. The nurse is hoping to ween him down a little slowly today. – He’s taking his feedings by bottle! It […]
Read MoreTurns out I’m getting the short end of the stick… First vomit … right here. Thank you, SO much. He really is doing better. Nurse Stephanie explained to us that after some labs and an x-ray this morning they think the heart rate drop was from reflux. They’re continuing to increase his feedings. He’s now […]
Read More(THIS PICTURE IS A LINK TO ISAAC’S PHOTO-A-DAY BLOG) It’s probably no real surprise to anyone for me to say I’m a perfectionist. Nor would it surprise anyone to say that I have a “drive” that pushes me forward. I don’t like standing still. I hate U-turns. And, set backs discourage me. As minor as […]
Read MoreFor everyone tracking the days… today is the REAL Day 5. Wednesday would have been DAY 0 not DAY 1… Math was never my strong suit. I’m realizing how fortunate we are that this has been such a smooth process in the NICU (knocking on wood). Every day we’ve been able to list progression over […]
Read MoreI just got done reading an article about why baby name trends are the way they are… apparently, we’re not as original as any of us like to think we are… I’ve claimed this for awhile. I have no original thought. I steal jokes. I sing other people’s songs. But, ultimately it’s not about me […]
Read MoreMy mom tells stories of me being under Bilirubin lamps for a week with Jaundice when I was born (I was also technically a preemie). I don’t think it looked like this: Nurse Kittie (no lie), explained to us that the new Bilirubin lamps are all LED. They are supposedly a little stronger and more […]
Read MoreI have too many options running through my head. Angie said I shouldn’t get to have any input. Most votes wins.
Read MoreAt 3:38pm we just signed our lives away. We also just found out that he’s off the Oxygen and the tube has been removed! All of this means that we’ll be holding him tonight. They’re going to have to wrestle him away from us 😉 “Praise our GOD, for He is good.”
