Well today I started my journey out of the NICU, and into the Intermediate care nursery and as you can see above I am all smiles!!! Now my room is awfully small and I have to share it with another little baby, but it is much brighter and my new plastic box has a whole lot less hoses!! All an all I am very happy and comfy :) Now the bad news of the day ugh, FIRST I have to stay in this box for 72 hours now before they can start lowering my temp again, UGH! And I guess that also means no clothes again till then :( So maybe by Monday, I will get to be in a crib! Second They took my air tube out because I was doing so good, but then I could not handle it and after the second time of giving me air manually they had to put it back in :( OYE! And for the last thing I lost 10 grams so now I am REALLY at 4 pounds 15 ounces :( So 5 pounds will have to wait another day :( Now the good news is that they moved my feeds up to every 2 hours at 40ML. Also the eye Dr. came in and said the my eyes are A-OK!! Everything is growing the way it should be and I shouldn't have any problems with my big beautiful eye's in the future!! Also before I forget, right before the Dr. came in my Grandpa Andy dropped in to say Hi, and to check out my new house!! That made me very happy to see him!! Eventually after Grandpa Andy left (Thank you for visiting me Grandpa, I love you!!!!) Mommy and daddy came in to see my new bed, and the brought in my Auntie Krista!! See Below!
There you can see my new box in all its glory! Oh and my Auntie Krista!! She hasn't seen me in a while so she sure did love on me a lot and Thank you I really missed you Auntie!! Now my care was already done for the day because these new nurses were on a different schedule so mommy and daddy just loved on me :) And Auntie Krista did too of course!! Later Daddy went to go wrap me up and I threw up a little bit, then the nurse had to come in because I could not breathe :( This scared my mama, but shessh I AM OK MOM!! :) The nurse got me fixed back up by clearing out my mouth and then put my air tubes back in my nose :( After that daddy attempted to wrap me up but I kept breaking though his wrapping job, I was not ready to sleep just yet!! See Below!
Eventually after I let him wrap me up, it was night night time :) Well my days in the NICU are over!! It was a long 59 days, and lets hope I am only in here let's say 21 days.... I sure hope so :) Thank you Auntie Krista for coming to see me :) I love you so much, and It was sooooo good to see you as always!! And you too Grandpa!! I love you all and thank you for checking in on me today! Goodnight World, and lets hope I hit 5 pounds tomorrow!! :)

ReplyDeleteI am soo happy your out of nicu. We will see yoy tomarrow night. Live you livi. Auntie Dawn
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you got to go to the ICN today even if you had to go to another box rather then a crib. It is one step closer to home. But you know that better then me. I'm so proud of your progress. You are such a beautiful warrior princess. Don't worry about mommy getting a little upset or scared over you from time to time. That is what good mommies do. Worry if she didn't.
ReplyDeleteToday your great great aunt Roberta, my two grandkids and I; very happily went shopping for you. We had so much fun picking out fun stuff and pretty clothes for you! My grandson Liam who's 7th birthday was today wanted to pick out something special just from him. He bought you something fun and practical. That is the kind of guy he is... Practical. My 3 year old granddaughter Zaynie aka Z'b thought Liam had a good idea and wanted to do the same. She picked out by herself and bought you a toy. She likes toys and hopes you will too. I told Z'b it maybe a little while before you could love on it. She said... That's all right. The kids and I will be taking your package to the post office tomorrow so tell mommy and daddy to be expecting it by the weekend or the first of next week.
Well Olivia precious little warrior princess I shall let you go to night night now. Sleep well with sweet dreams. Love you and I'm always praying for you.
