April 21. Day 4 NICU

Today we walked in and our baby wasn't in his same location... panic... he was moved to bay 5!!!! The sickest babies are in bay 1 and bay 6 is just before you go home. We will take bay 5 any day!!!!!! We had an amazing nurse today who taught us so much! We were allowed to do things other families are not because we are in the study. This includes getting our sons feeds ready, measured out and warmed up, taking his weight and temperature and charting it. It seems so silly but these are things that we miss out on that we would normally be doing if we were at home.

We spent 9 hours holding Mattias today which was amazing. He had no desaturations today which was a huge improvement from the previous day. He had his caffeine changed to oral from IV. It's just given to prevent apneas. He has never had one thankfully. Today he got his IV taken out and we were able to bath him for the first time. We also graduated... He got clothes!!!!!! Huge deal!

We are so thankful for amazing nurses and an amazing God who is almighty and able to keep our son strong and growing.
