JETT
What a day! Today he had his left drain taken out, so far so good, his latest x ray showed he didn't have air accumulation, so the drain did it's job :)
He had an arterial line put in today. I hate the thought of it, so don't think of it, it's in now and he was ok. His oxygen is up to about 60% and ventilation is up to about 35 but that is because he has had a lot of handling. He is also under phototherapy lights.
Now the best news ever!! His head scan is completely normal! Such a relief! So today has been a tough full on day, but he is good at the moment :)
He met his big brother today. Big Bro was pretty impressed with how tiny he is. He said he was soo cute lol :) So yes a full on day, but it's been good.
MUMMY
In short, Mummy feels fucked lol. Soo exhausted, but running on adrenalin again after receiving good news.
I was discharged today so am staying in Ronald Mac house. It was emotional coming back, but I just know this time will be different :)
I'm off to see my baby now I am so in awe of my beautiful son.. He loves holding Mummy's finger now that he has a free hand. All we need for a skin to skin cuddle is that right drain out, his umbilical line out and for his breathing to stabilise. I hope that happens soon :)
What a relief on the headscan!
ReplyDeleteYes, it already is different this time.
One week already ~ and planning towards your first cuddle.
Mmmmmm.....
If his nappies irritate you could try a fleece liner to help him feel drier.
:)
Is he off high frequency vent now?
