day 10

Rate this Entry
day 9 was great, extubated!!! day 10 chest tube is taken out, ng tube out and feeding tube in, mekhaai has his first meal of breast milk, lets hope he tolerates it well, they will be doing by tube and by mouth just to see how he does. I get to hold him all day If I want now, the nurses he has are great, he has had the same nurse for a while now and she was here 12 hours yesterday and then had to stay another five due to a staffing mix up, then she back 7 hours later to do her next regular shift, she always has a smile and love for my son which I love,love,love and he loves her to, you can see it in his eyes when she talks to him or he hears her voice, it makes me feel good, It takes a special person to work in the NICU, I would not be able to do it, my emotions would get the best of me. So little Mekhaai will be upgrading out of nicu and onto the surgery floor this weekend, he continues to do well and I pray things stay this way, but we all know that CDH is a roller coaster ride. I almost didnt want to post today because I saw a few very sad stories of babies who lost their fight with CDH and I didnt want to be all happy when they were hurting, but then I remembered how I felt when I was still pregnant and I need to hear the survivor stories and the stories of a baby doing good and progressing. My heart goes out to the grieving moms and I think about them every day several times and I pray for them, all of you will always have a place in my heart because you have been there through my journey and helped me alot. I am going to cuddle my little miracle now, oh yeah, I remember saying a while ago that mom had a vision of my son, she described him and so far she has been right on the money, thanks mom
