One week 2 days old - Morning

Written September 10, 2013 10:08am
I got here just in time for rounds today. I'm starting to actually understand them! (I'm slowly easing back into driving.)

First, the swelling on his foot may have been related to the sensor
being wrapped too tightly on his foot. Dr H will be back after rounds to double check it.

I can just make out his eyelashes this morning. I think they're longer and redder! Where's this ginger-ness coming from?! :)

His blood gasses remain flat. His nurse today (the same one that helped admit him on his first day) said that means he's nice and stable.

They'll do another echo tomorrow morning to see if the Indicin worked.
Based on results today (lower urine output for example) Dr H thinks it's
working. Only the echo will show for sure though.

Evan's light level is also down, but he'll continue to stay under the
lights.

He's very wiggly this morning. I'm starting I realize this typically means he's either working on making a messy diaper or he's sitting in one.

Evan's also been sucking on his respirator tube. I took a two minute video trying to catch him sticking his tongue out. Naturally he only did it before I had the camera out and after I turned it off. He also has a case of the hiccups. He's probably too small to teach him how to get rid of them though. Guess I'll just have to wait to teach him the family secret.
