Rounding Today:
Get rid of TPN- IV nutrition
Feeds: increase to 5ml/hr
Keep same NIPPV rates
His tachycardia yesterday probably due to Albuterol tx in the AM for his lungs. They held his night dose of caffeine and heart rate has come down. Currently it's in the high 160's-170's
Plan on getting chest X-ray, ABG's on Thursday when Cefepime will be complete and PICC pulled!!
Weight: 2 lb 5 oz
Our lil man is gaining weight!! He's filling out slowly but surely. Our snuggle time today was so precious. I was resting my chin/cheek against his head and he was moving his hand around. It found my mouth and I was kissing it. He's getting to know his mommy. :) During our kangaroo time I heard his first burp. Daddy is very proud of his champ!! We are happy his innerards are moving!!
Last night we were told RJ had a massive poop that messed up his bed. I'm so sorry the nurses had a mess to clean up but super excited our lil man is pooping well!! I think they ended up giving him a bath last night too.
I forgot to mention a couple days ago when I was giving RJ a kiss I accidently shocked him on his head. He jumped and his lil eyebrows furrowed all up. I felt bad and at the same time it was precious. :)
Today is a good day. I felt that I got a lil better sleep last night and don't feel so draggin right now. Ask me in a couple hrs again and I might say different. :) We will probably leave a lil earlier today so that we can get some errands done. Things pile up when you hang out at work/hospital for 6 hrs a day.
It is incredible to just sit here next to our lil one and stare at him. He's so perfect looking, yet so tiny. I'm amazed every day at how strong he is. His lil muscles are tough already. I can't believe he will already be a month old this Thursday!! Time is just flying by and going in slow motion all at the same time...
Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday. It's pumping time. :)
