Life has been a bit odd around here lately, not that I expected anything to feel normal when Noah made his appearance so early. I just never expected how little I would get done in a day. The cold I have had this week has slowed my down some and taken quite a bit of the time I spend with Noah away from me. I won't lie, leaving him at the hospital every day is difficult, it is even more so when I don't get to hang out there with him for more than 45 minutes.
Noah has had yet another interesting week and I feel bad for not keeping the Blog updated. He pulled his vent tube out of his lungs twice early on Thursday and his doctor decided to let him have his way. He put the C-pap back on him in its place. Noah did well for a couple days but pooped out late on Saturday. His color was also a bit pale so this morning Dr. Desai ran a CBC. Noah was a little anemic so he has now gotten his second blood transfusion, this one was in two doses. Dr. Desai also decided to put the vent tube back into Noah's lungs. The C-pap was drying out his sinuses really bad and he was getting pretty tired. Hopefully our strong little man will leave it in this time.
Michael and I took a required infant CPR class this afternoon. It was very informative. I had a CPR class in high school but it didn't have infant CPR. The class is only required for parents of preemies. The state should make it a requirement for all parents.
The last tidbit I have for tonight is diaper news. Noah went up one size. It seems he was overfilling his "teeny, tiny, extra small preemie" diapers. Now he is wearing "small preemie" diapers.
