I didn't visit yesterday, so I called Summer's nurse. Well, of course on a Sunday I decided not to go in, she was taken off the oxygen for the whole day! They even took her on a stroller ride through the NICU and down the hall. I was very sad I missed that, but happy she has made it to that point too.
Today I expected her to be cannula free, but she still has the oxygen on the nasal cannula. During the night she was having problems with her breathing so they put her back on it. However, she is basically on room air, just needing 1/4 liter for now and will more than likely be turned down to 1/8 liter on the floor. Debbie and her kids came to visit and Micaela got to hold her and see her for the first time. Morgan gave us all a run for our money (oh how fun she can be at the Hospital! HA) but it was helpful for Debbie to take her down to the play area while I spent a little time with Summer and Micaela :)
Micaela loved holding Summer...they just met today :)
Morgan loves riding in the wagons provided by the hospital...she is quite the handful !
Aunt Debbie hasn't seen Summer for a couple of weeks...she loves to kiss her :)
Summer, prepare to be spoiled!
The nurse told us she would be moved today, but it didn't happen while I was there. They called us tonight and said she was moving! This is a major milestone...yeah Summer! Now we will be taught to be more hands on when we are there and take care of her needs. This is totally different from the NICU where we are mostly the observers. I will enjoy that...I have always felt like she really isn't my baby, but just one I visit a lot :( Can you believe it? I am actually asking to change diapers! Well, when they are little, they are the cute ones :)
