Out of the NICU

5/4/12

This afternoon Jamie dropped off Norah with Dacia so she could go see Ethan and spend some time with him.  But when she got to the NICU, surprise, he wasn't there.  He was moved down to Methodist.  He was doing so well, combined with the fact that there were a lot of new babies that needed to be in the NICU, they went ahead and moved him.  So Jamie had to hop on the shuttle and come downtown.

Now that we are at Methodist we have our own room which is soooooo much nicer.  The NICU nurses were amazing, but its just a lot more chaotic.  Now that we have our own room its quieter and much more relaxing.

On the medical front for Ethan, he got his oxygen tubes taken out of his nose today and is breathing completely on his own today.  Also, they are continuing to turn down the temperature inside his little incubator.  On Wednesday I know it was still set at 30.2°C.  Today they have it set down at 28.3°C.  All good signs.  He weighed in at 2lb, 14.8oz.  I still have no idea how long he is, one of these days I'll remember ask.

One other thing of note, I got to change my first of many, many diapers.  Good times.
