Folds! F#$king folds!
NICU 25
Grumpy gel dude
Day 67 -70
Gestation 32- 33 weeks
Kaydens first night in NSH SCBU went well. He’s been good, just a few self correcting Brady and desats, no big apnea’s. He has been in mostly air through the cpap, occasionally needing a sniff of oxygen but not much. I saw him get his first big head massage from the nurse and he loved. He was so happy. He has started to smirk and smile now, I even caught one on video.
The plan is to let him settle over the weekend and then he will have some tests and we can make changes. He has a brain scan Monday that I have been holding out for and an eye test Tuesday. We have a few well deserved quiet days.
He has been in mostly air and is now triple his birth weight at 1750 grams! I feel I can start using kg now, he is 1.7kg.
We usually do skin on skin but he was overheating on me. So I held him in my arms for the first time and I couldn’t stop staring at him. He is turning into such a little dude.
We are day 70 and the brain ultrasound is coming at 230pm. I’m nervous but I also feel like it will be ok, maybe Lees positivity has rubbed off. He has been more alert these past two weeks. I still need to hear the doctor say it.
And….
FOLDS! There are folds, fucking folds.
Wooohooo 🥳
My eyes well up, I wanna happy cry again.
He is such a wee champ, just needed more time to grow.
I’m caught up on the blog, up to date. So that’s all you get but isn’t it just the best f#$king news.
Ok I’m done swearing now.
Woohoo thank you all for your positive thoughts that you put out into the universe for us. We got them and they’re great, we will use them all.
