2 weeks

My little guy is 2 weeks old today and well so far I do not have much to report on from yesterday. all of his continuous IVs have been removed.  He's still on oxygen but not much and he still has a feeding tube and that is running continuously with breast milk with added fats in it. they are apparently trying to get his weight up. He will not be getting rid of that tube yet. tomorrow they are going to do a swallow test. apparently the surgery he had there is a nerve near  the aorta that effects how you swallow that can become swollen after surgery and may need time to heal before he can start drinking from a bottle again. Here's hoping he passes!

I've been told he may be moved to the third floor tonight, but I have yet to hear if they have or not planning on calling in a bit to see. Best part of the day I got to hold him! though Daddy beat me to the room and held him first, which was good he had been to  chicken to hold him before the surgery, the IVs made him nervous.

He did eventually hand him over to me and I must admit I was a little on edge holding him today. Seeing his healing cut on his chest made me nervous to hold him! I didn't want to hurt him and didn't help he was being a little grumpy because he kept sneezing and you could tell it hurt. That and he was gassy as well which was also uncomfortable for him. we also did the CPR class. It was a video and a baby dummy. Which is our to keep. So yes we know have a CPR baby dummy.  And lastly a photo hubby just HAD to take :).

live long and prosper

Oh and I called and looks like he isn't being moved tonight, guessing tomorrow he'll be tken out of the ICU.
