5 days old - Morning

Written September 6, 2013 10:59am
Good Morning!
Andrew brought me to the hospital around 9. He visited for a few minutes and then went to work. Evan is stable enough that he's comfortable leaving Evan for bits of time.

The big news (so far) is that Evan was moved to a conventional vent! He loves this vent so far. The tubes are a lot lighter so they're able to change his positions easier. They'll continue to watch his levels with the hope that he can be extubated over the weekend.

They've increased his feedings to 3 mL. They need to make sure he continues to digest the milk. I'm glad they're upping his feeds. I'm pumping almost 100 mL every 3 hours!! He's gotta catch up. :)

I also changed his morning diaper. His bilirubin lights were off so he kept a eye on me for the whole process. I was a little fumbly, but I will get better. I liked that he kept an eye on me. :)
