Good morning friends!
Last night was a quiet night. A
wonderfully quiet night. Daddy stayed by my side again and we slept
fairly well for the most part. I did wake for about 20 minutes around
4am and daddy cuddled and rocked me back to sleep. Adrian our neighbour
didn't cry or get angry at all!
Then morning came. Daddy woke
up to find me bundled up like a newborn again. Debbie said yesterday
that our night nurse Phylicia likes to bundle little ones up tight
because she used to work in the neonatal unit. She had me bundled up
soooo tight that I was just a big ball of sweat! Daddy unwrapped me to
let my skin breathe for a minute and the nurses arrived for the pound of
flesh. By pound of course I mean 4 mls and by flesh of course I mean
blood.
Just as they started my blood work mommy showed up! Her
favourite time of day is BLOOD TIME << severe sarcasm
warning>>
My blood letting went better today than usual and
they were able to get a good capillary sample from my foot. Once they
were done I settled back down with mom. I was still being a little
fussy and mom thought maybe I needed a change, thus began DIAPER #1.
Mom
started my change and was surprised! I had FILLED this one! I had
filled it so good she took one look at dad and said "you need to come do
this one!" After cleaning me up and getting ready to put me all back
together... DIAPER #2. Without warning I made another generous
donation!
Dad started over again. Taking away my old diaper,
adding a bit of my no sting rash spray and powder. Then just as we were
finishing up. DIAPER #3!
Suffice it to say, daddy was both
proud and annoyed. The doctors are happy that I am a poop factory and
thankfully the hospital system has a near endless supply of diapers just
for me. I'm getting pretty close to a pack a day!
The doctors
are getting ready to do rounds soon. The big news is that I'm still not
holding down my med/formula concoction so they are going to decide if
there is a better way to administer some of my medications. The current
plan is to still reduce my dextrose, slower than before though, and
wait patiently for my skin and muscle biopsy results.
Side note -- one of the doctors here looks like a Bollywood Neil Diamond. "Forever in blue jeans babe."
Thanks for stopping by!
