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.

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 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 MoreWhen we finally got to a point last night to blog an update, I could hardly keep my eyes open. So, after the best night’s sleep we’ve had since WED (THANK YOU, DURANS & NIHARTS!!!) we’re finally able to catch everyone up. As the quick mid day post shared yesterday, it’s all became official at […]
