I woke up this morning wondering who was going to be Noah's day nurse. I had a feeling that it was going to be Lillie, but then thought against it because she told me that she is usually on the 5th floor. Well, I couldn't shake the feeling off and called the NICU to check. Low and behold, Lillie was his nurse...smh... but she was very nice today! Guess the talk really worked for the best! She really went above and beyond on some things today.
Anyway, the good news about today is that they started Noah back on the feeds! They started him at 6mL every 3 hours. Finally the doctor agreed with me and said that once an infection has set in, it's like everything stops; so pretty much Noah has to just get back on track with the feedings and his bowel movements will come back the way they were in the past (I am definitely speaing that into existence, because I need for him to get better). While I was holding him, he farted a few times, so i'm hoping that by the time I call tomorrow morning at 6:15, he has at least had some kind of bowel movement. I had a little chat with him, so i'm hoping that he listened :-)!
Other good news is that they reduced his oxygen from 3.5LPM to 2.0LPM today! That's a big change, and Noah seemed to be a little stunned by the change initially, but he was able to adjust fairly well! I'm praying that he is still at the same tomorrow morning. All he needs to get to is 1.0 for them to change this machine and move to level 2! How exciting of the possibilities to come in the next few weeks!
Oh...and Noah peed on my hand today, I couldn't believe it! LOL. Now I know I shouldn't have left the diaper opened!
I held Noah for about 2 hours today. Felt very natural. He's so cute...i fall in love with him everytime I take a look at him! Below are some pictures of today!
