The 'nice nurse' as we call her was with Makenzie today and she made her a cute name card. NICU nurses should be required to be cute and crafty I'm pretty sure! The 'grumpy nurse' isn't horrible she just does have as happy of a vibe as I'd like my sweet baby to be around :O)
This is Makenzie this afternoon. They use the aspirator to keep the pacifier in her mouth and that keeps her calmed down a lot. They keep her as calm as possible to keep her from crying and having to work any harder than she needs to. Oxygen thing in her nose is still at 3 liters but its room oxygen. She is getting a little jaundice but they haven't started any light treatments yet, the 'nice nurse' said they would make that call in the morning. She is still just getting iv liquids, but will try to start a feeding tube tomorrow if everything keeps getting better like they have today. I am at this point still scheduled to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow so we will work out the best visiting schedule for Alex and I for the next few days then. Right now we just visit for a few minutes at a time but after tomorrow I would imagine we will be staying for longer increments of time.
Thank you all for all the sweet words and prayers. KEEP THEM GOING!!! Pray for continued healing and for it to be speedy! We are ready to have her in her own crib and wearing the cute outfits you all got her over the last 10 months! Pray for our family and friends who have been coming to the hospital to keep us company, I know it is hard for them to come visit with no baby to see and hold but its been really great to have them here to keep our minds occupied a little more. Pray also for my recovery, no details needed there!
