6 days old - Night Night

Written September 7, 2013 9:37pm
Evan had a big day today. Not only is he making consistent diapers but he also has his ART line removed. This line goes through the belly button artery. Thy use it for blood draws and transfusions. This has a limited use though (just like a full term, the belly button nib falls off). For blood draws, they'll have to stick his foot. Thankfully, they'll only need to do this every 8 hours.

Evan was also exposed for a bit of our afternoon visit! The top for the incubator was up so the nurse could have a little more room to work. He's not under the bilirubin lights so we were able to get a good look at him. I think his hair has gotten longer and is filling in more. Evan's eyelashes are also growing in. They're very fine.

We're so happy for good days like this. Evan is such a strong little boy. He gives us our strength.
