Breathing: 0.5 liter flow regular nasal cannula (straight oxygen)
The words of the respiratory therapist were, "He picked the wrong time to be sat-ing in the high 80s...... The doctor was standing right there." His oxygen saturation had been in the low 90s-high 80s (occasionally) & if he hasn't done that when the doctor was at his bed this morning, he probably wouldn't have had to go back on oxygen. Ugh. He had one desat this morning, but after they suctioned him out, he was fine. They're supposed to take him back off of oxygen in the morning.
Feedings: 55mL every three hours
He took all of his bottles great & nursed one time.
He got a good hour of mommy cuddles today which is the longest yet. Right before I got him out, he was wide awake & had terrible hiccups. He calmed down once I got him.
The earliest we can go home will be Friday & that's only if they take him off oxygen in the morning. I'm praying that all will go smoothly so that will happen. Wesley has to go back to work Monday.
My doctor's office called to tell me the pathology report came back & it WAS a 2 vessel cord. There was a debate over that in the OR. At least we didn't spend $1400 at Vanderbilt for nothing!
I'm so thankful for Scarlett, one of Hannah Kate's NICU nurses. She keeps texting to check on Micaiah & offer suggestions if there's something she thinks of. :) We miss our Vanderbilt nurses, but were thankful for the ones here as well. We haven't had any that we really don't like.
Hannah Kate is very much over all of this & she's still sick. :( While Wesley was with Micaiah this morning, she LICKED the kids' table in the waiting room (no wonder she's sick huh?) after I said not to. I gave her a spanking & from then on she'd look at the table, stick out her tongue, & say "table....yummy....mmmmm" (but she didn't lick it again).
We are SO ready to all be home!!!
