Sweet precious baby, you are so loved. You are 11 days old today and your momma got to hold you for the very first time today. I am sure that was an amazing feeling for her and you too.
Today is Tuesday, May 3rd and I haven’t got to see you since Saturday, April 30th. But here is a summary of what has been happening the past few days.
On Friday, you were one week old. Your momma and Nana went to see you today. By the time we got to the hospital, they had already removed your ventilator and you were doing really good. Before today, your oxygen level was at room level but as the day progressed they had to keep turning it up. And they stopped your feedings today. You were up to 17ml every three hours. You were a lot more restless today than yesterday. They said a lot of that was due to the cpap machine you had that replaced your ventilator. You also had another brain scan today as a follow up and we are anxiously awaiting the results of that test. Sweetheart, is looks so uncomfortable. I am so sorry. Here is a picture of you at one week old.
Saturday, April 30th, 8 days old. . . your Aunt Kristin came from Russellville to see you. When we got to the hospital and got to what used to be your room, you were gone. They had moved you to a “row”. We were spoiled to your private room, and I was really sad. They had also started another IV in her little hand or arm and they told me you had had a blood transfusion. They had also changed your breathing machine again and I am not sure what it is called now. Your oxygen level was at 49% this morning. Shortly after Kristin and I left your momma and daddy got there and you opened your eyes for them. Your momma was so excited and I am so glad she was there for you to see. But she was so scared too, she cried because she didn’t want you to see all of that scary stuff around you.
Sunday, May 1st, 9 days old . . . . your little brother, Drew, was sick today. Nana stayed with Drew so your momma and daddy could go see you. They turned your oxygen back down today to room air, that is a good thing! And your momma reported that you were resting good. They got the results of the brain scan and everything looked good again. And your momma said they got to hear you cry/fuss tonight. We are praising the Lord for all of the good reports. I don’t have a picture of you on this day.
Monday, May 2nd, 10 days old . . . . your momma drove herself to Springfield to see you today.
Tuesday, May 3rd, 11 days old . . . they took out your pic line your momma got to hold you today! This is a beautiful site and I am sure an amazing feeling!
I can’t wait to get to see you again and to someday hold you.
Love Nana
