Hi everybody,
Yesterday I got past this jaundice stage that has had me under the bright lights (like in the way of: What were you doing the night of September 12th...) and my nurses and doctors have taken away the bright lights and taken off my spongy ski goggles that I HATED! :-D
They put this nice dark cover over my little 'oven' and it is all dark and cozy in here. I like to sleep a lot, and I don't really like to be disturbed much. In fact when they disturb me to change me or move me, I tend to breath less just to let them know. They call this a de-sat because my oxygen saturation levels drop.
Today finds that I have gained weight!!! I now weigh 2 lbs, 9 1/2 oz which is only 1/2 oz less than when I was born...not bad, eh? Mummy and Daddy say that I am 'fleshing out' and even my nurse Melina agrees. (She's really nice, I like her) Mummy said that my arm looks big, I wonder if she knows that I was flexing.... My doctors decided to change the tube for my ventilator because the fit was snug and that may make my little throught swell a bit when they take the tube out. So they changed it to one a bit smaller this afternoon, and I let them do that without much fuss. You can't fight everything, right??
Well I'm going to nap now until Mummy and Daddy come to read to me. I like when they do that... ;-)
More in a couple of days.
