My 8th Day and I Get a Day Off

Mommy and Grandma showed up at my lunchtime change. A new doctor was on (not part of my team) and he was out to lunch, so mommy says. Everytime mommy asked him a question my nurse had to correct him...funny! Mommy changed me again and this time I kept stickin my foot and hand in my diaper, it took all three of them to change me...Heehee:) Grandma calls me a little stinker, I don't know what that means, but I like the sound of it.

The nurse says mommy can hold me tomorrow. I hear them say no tests today, my day off. It's about time! Oh, I get my diaper changed more frequently and I get fed more often and more of it too. Someone is finally listening to me. Hey could someone tell me what fiesty means, the nurses keep telling me I am fiesty.

2am Call from the Hospital

Well as we suspected baby Lucas did not quite handle breathing on his own yet. His brain pathways need to be a little more developed yet. He continued to have trouble with breathing on his own with the assist CPAP, so at 2am they called me (mommy) and said they were going to retube him back on the Vent. His little heart was stressing too much from trying. Every 10 minutes or so his heart would decelerate down so low he would set off all the alarms. It was too much stress for him, so they elected to give him more time to rest and develop those neurons. They will try in a few more days. The good news is they believe Lucas is 28 weeks old today, a week older than initially thought. This is due to his development and size.

Happy 1 week old today son! Can't wait to bring you home...
