Today was a great day... When I arrived in the NICU this morning, I got a big surprise - both Jack & Ella had made some changes.
Jack had decided that he had had enough of the CPAP. He had been put on a schedule of 8 hours on the cannula and 4 hours on the CPAP, but that wasn't good enough for him. You see, after almost 8 weeks in the NICU and 5 weeks on CPAP, Jack figured out how to "take off" the mask. He would try to turn over and push it off or take his hands and grab the straps. The medical staff decided that Jack was obviously trying to tell them something, so they let him have his way. Jack is officially on the cannula full time. Wow!
Ella had a surprise as well. As I rounded the corner into her room.... she was in a crib! No more Isolette! Though I was soooo excited in the progress, I am now finding myself terrified that she no longer has a "bubble" to protect her. She is just lying there in the open... To make matters worse, Jack is going into a crib tomorrow.
I'm feeling a bit flushed as I type; I better lie down.
