Micaiah NICU Day 2 (11.23)

They weigh the babies at midnight, so I will start using that point to begin his daily update.

Weight: 2740g ~ 6 lbs 0.6oz

Overnight he got a new IV in his foot that had to be taken out this morning. Apparently they tried his hand & arm because they're bruised & now the IV is back in the same hand it originally was again.

His oxygen level on CPAP was set in the 30s most of the day, so he did not come off of that. :(

He got his first feeding in his tube today at 10:30am. It was 15mL & took all that I had pumped so far! Yikes! He's a big boy! His feeds are every three hours.

His bilirubin level was 6.4 today. They're thinking he may end up under the light to fix that before he leaves.

Random:
The nurse said when he's off CPAP & in the regular bed he can wear clothes. Maybe that will be soon....

He does have to have a carseat test (1 hour 45 minutes) before he leaves.

As soon as he's off of CPAP, he can move to a regular bed.

Apparently it's impossible for me to get a kid who looks like me.

Hannah Kate can't go see him & there are no windows to be able to look in, so she settled for looking at babies in the newborn nursery tonight.
