Jefferson is THE sweetest little guy ever. He had been poked before every feedings on his heels, had an IV needle placed in his head, had blood drawn for genetics testing, and had a nose piece to give him oxygen. Even after all that, he has been so quiet and mellow. He hardly ever cries and is such a little champ. His glucose levels have not been too bad today. They have not been too low to need supplementing or an IV, so that is great news! He has been eating like a champ and had 6 poopy diapers in one day! He is such a snuggler and loves to be held. This is when his oxygen levels are at the highest. He just loves to be held, and I just love to hold him! The Cardiologists came and checked out his heart. Everything was looking good, considering the circumstances. His oxygen had to be bumped up to 45% today. But they are not too worried.
He is in the main NICU unit with all the tiny babies. I felt weird walking in there every couple hours with all the babies that were fighting for their lives. Every nurse and Dr that saw him said, "woah, what a big baby."
They got him stable and his oxygen levels regulated and they decided to move him to another room in the NICU that did not have such high risk babies. It was a good move. The room is much quieter (other than crying babies, less noisy machines) and easier to access. Babies are mostly in cribs, not incubators here. Jefferson is still under a warmer for a bit longer, but he is doing so well! He is so adorable and keep falling in love with him every second I get to hold him!
