Not a good day today

shelbyyy

He was doing so great these past few days and they were talking about extabating him this weekend so they took him off his sedative drip that he's been on to calm him down and today I called up NICU to see how he was doing and the nurse tells me he's been very mad and uncomfortable and she thinks he might have an infection or might be sick. They went down on his settings but his oxygen percentage is at 34% last time I called. I just called again and the labs they've gotten back are okay and he's sleeping and his temperature is just fine. I guess this is what everyone means when they say the ups and downs of NICU, I hope this doesn't last long and I probably won't see him today because I get emotional when he's like this and I want him to be as calm as possible so he can get off the tube soon.

Big HUG!

I'm sorry this is not a good day. I usually wind up a crying basket case on those type of days. I find that even though I feel aweful, I still go see my baby. Just seeing her makes me happy. I also find talking to the doctors is helpful. They never seem worried and are good at calming my fears. I hope tomorrow is a good day for you.

I'm sorry to hear about your bad day.   I hope things get better VERY soon. I was just wondering what hospital you delivered at. My preemie twins were at the Baylor All Saints NICU and I am still friends with some of the nurses up there. If you are at baylor, I could put you in touch with some of them and maybe they would help calm your nerves. One of my friends from my home town has her baby in the Cooks NICU right now. She is very sweet too and would probably enjoy some company! Hang in there, you are doing a great job. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I live about half an hour from the hospitals in downtown FW.

He's in Odessa Regional Medical Center's NICU which is where I gave birth. We live about 20 minutes from downtown FW but because of DH's job we're out here until March.
