The latest... 06/02/2011
We've been enjoying visits from various family members this week, so I haven't been able to update as much as I usually do. Timothy has been doing really well. On Tuesday he was having a few episodes where he dropped his oxygen saturation so they moved him back to the intensive area of the NICU (where he was before). They didn't have to put him on oxygen but wanted him in that area just in case they had to. Paul got to change Timothy's diaper and check his temp for the first time Tuesday. On Wednesday we arrived to find Timothy and Elizabeth sharing the same isolette. The nurse said as long as they behave that they'll get to stay together like that. Timothy was still dropping his oxygen saturation occassionally, but nothing bad. He was up to 3 lbs 2 ounces and was eating 27 mL every 3 hours. Today was similar to Wednesday. Timothy was still in clothes and sharing an isolette with Elizabeth. We got to help change his diaper and check his temperature and Paul got to hold him. His weight is now up to 3 pounds 5.4 ounces and he's eating 28 mL every 3 hours. It's a lot of fun seeing Timothy and Elizabeth together! They're right up on top of each other so they have a tendency to hit each other and grab each other's clothes and wires (it's really cute!). Hopefully these breathing episodes will subside and they'll be able to move back to the grower pod soon! CommentsLeave a Reply |
