As we type this blog, we sit in the NICU family room with Adelaide. The staff saw her off today, and it was really cool watching Adelaide being picked up and held by the staff without a wire or tube coming from her. So far, she's not sleeping and we need her to. We'll spend the night with her and leave tomorrow around 11 for home.
Andrew didn't do very well on the SIPAP. He lasted about two and a half hours and his levels shot up. When we arrived at the hospital last night, the doctor was waiting to tell us that he was going to be re-intubated. Once he was intubated, his carbon dioxide levels came down and his need for oxygen was less. The doctors have decided to push his surgery up. Kevin met with the surgeon today, and Andrew is tentatively scheduled to have a tracheotomy, a g-tube for feeds, a double hernia repair, and a circumcision on Monday at 2:30. His surgery may get bumped depending in needs on the OR.
Mattie is doing good. She got to see Adelaide up close personal today. Since Adelaide was wire-free, we set her in Mattie's crib. There wasn't a single hair pulled out of anyone's head. Mattie is taking about two bottles a shift.
Praise
Adelaide alone with us.
Andrew has calmed down and his levels are looking good.
The tracheotomy will get Andrew home faster.
Prayer
Everything goes smoothly tonight with Adelaide.
Andrew's levels get down to a point good enough for surgery.
Protection over our baby boy.
