Homey was not happy with Mom & Dad today. The doctor “did something” to his junk this morning. He’s been grouchy ever since. Right now he’s sleeping, as comfortably as possible, in Mom’s arms. But, as you can see, he didn’t want to look at us. In order to help with the reflux, they’ve begun […]
Read MoreToday has been a good day… if you’ll notice the picture, the nasal cannula is gone! This morning at about 9:45 they took him off all breathing support and he’s doing well! At 11:30, Angie fed him his whole bottle (all 45cc’s). This was the second in a row today! They’re going to leave the […]
Read More(LINK TO TODAY’S PHOTO) Time in the NICU is like time nowhere else. It just disappears. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re sitting here staring at our son or if it’s because it’s so different than the rest of life. It’ll feel like we’ve been there for 15 minutes and it’s been 2 hours. […]
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 MoreSo, as I’m beginning the morning update, I realize that this blog has suddenly taken on a “kid” focus… you know, those blogs that are people just telling about their kids… I PROMISE THIS WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE! Right now it’s the best way to communicate to all of you who are praying […]
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 […]
