NICU Day 13

Day 13.
Today has been a little stressful for us all, especially Andrew. It started out with a call from the doctor that Andrew was going to receive blood today. Andrew's breathing has still been fast and his oxygen levels are still dropping some. His momma sat for six hours watching his monitors and keeping an eye on his nurse. His nurse was a little rough with Andrew today, so his mom asked to do some of his care today. When we left this afternoon Andrew was breathing a little easier; however, by tonight trouble began again. From what I hear things will be up and down until he comes home. At this point I am hoping the time passes fast and I am enjoying my little blessing everyday. Andrew tipped the scales at 970 grams tonight(2 lb. 2 oz.), a little up because of the blood. Andrew is well on his way to being a chubby little baby.
Oh, for the count the holding time remains Meredith-2, Darin-0.
Thanks to Marilyn for lunch at the French Garden today, and a shout out to Natalie B. for the wonderful dinner with wonderful dessert!
