4/24/2009 Happy 1 Week!


During the day Aj was having some alarms. His oxygen level was brought up from 21% to 25 % which is still really good. The doctors put him back on the insulin drip because his sugar level was high. They took some test called a blood culture to make sure that he doesn't have any infections. The results came back negative. Which is really good, but they said they are going to continue to look after it just in case. They also sent some of his saliva to get some test also, for the same reason. I went to visit him around 5:30 with Anthony's cousin' girlfriend. She wanted to see him. She loves him so much..I think that's so cute and touching.

We came back to visit after transition and he looked so comfortable. They had changed his bedding and his positioning. I swear he is looking different everyday. His skin is so tan and looks so healthy. His hair is growing in and his features are changing. There were no alarms the entire visit which I was really excited about, do to yesterday. We left around 9:30. I called at 12:00am and the nurse said he hadn't had any alarms. He has been resting and his oxygen level was brought back down to 21% ( the level of air we breath). That made my night. I know that he will have his ups and downs, so I definitely have to understand that, but he is doing so well to be a week old. Cant wait for him to be on breast milk, even though the nurse said it is not the most important thing since he is getting the nutrients that he needs. But it makes me feel good that I can do something for my little one.
