During August things went pretty
smoothly. It was pretty much waiting
to come off of the ventilator,
learning to nipple from a bottle,
maintaining body temperature and
getting big enough to go home!
August 10th, Nathan got mad when
they changed out his tubes!
August 14th. By now we were off the
ventilator (WHOO-HOO!) And had our
"gear" on. The C-PAP was too heavy
to stay up on it's own so they used
the goggles (normally to protect
from the billi lights) to hold them
up!
We also started getting held alot at
this point. Randy and I had decided
to pretty much leave Nathan alone
until he was off his vent. He didn't
like it when the covers were off his
isolette too much. The first time I
held him it was only for about 10
minutes before he started de-satting
and had to go back in.
August 22, we were off of C-PAP and
on regular oxygen! You can see my
face now! I'm so pretty!
August 26th, Still Growing!
And look at those numbers! Top
number is heart rate, middle one is
respiration, and bottom is his
oxygen saturation!
August 31st, we had been eating from
a bottle once a day for 2 days! Only
took about half an ounce to an ounce
but go us!
I think he finally
got tired of me taking pictures!
