Make the Beeping Stop.....


Nicholas continues to be status quo, which is good news, but we would prefer that he instead aim for some improvement - he is becoming a "NICU Slacker." The title of today's blog refers to the constant beeping of his pulse ox monitor which monitors his oxygen saturation. It beeps if he goes too high or too low - we are addicted to watching the monitor. We see "patterns" in the constant cycles of the pulse ox and even try to share our observations with the respiratory therapist to no avail. The mommies are planning to leave early tonight and get some dinner (and a martini for the non-breast feeding mom :) in hopes of making the beeping disappear.) I think the staff is more excited than us that we are taking a little break.

  4. Sounds like a couple of people are beginning to go stir crazy. Nicholas may just be doing that to keep you both worked up. He was nice and cozy in that womb and then...
    Stay strong and enjoy that kangaroo hold with him Denise M. Looking forward to your picture with him this time. Guess you both will have to grow pouches and be marsupials for him.
    Hugs, kisses and love to all three of you.
