So I usually update with all the data things that happen to us, but today I thought I would share a little about how our day went:
Dylan has been a stinker all day! It's good, I guess, because that means he is healthy enough to be a stinker!
I gave Dylan a bath last night around 6:30 & then Derrick & I left around 10:30. This morning when I got back to the hospital at 10 I picked up Dylan & he had peed out his diaper, all over his clothes & through 3 blankets! That's a lot of pee, especially since the nurse had changed him at 7! So I changed his clothes & the nurse changed his bedding. He was pretty good the rest of the day while I was there. I fed him at 4 & then went home for a little bit. When Derrick & I came back at 7:10 pm, Dylan was screaming his head off! We couldn't figure out why – he was unswaddled (he hates being swaddled), the respiratory guy had tried to give him his paci & his food was going in through his feeding tube...so we thought. The nurse came in & realized that something was wrong with his feeding. Turns out that he had pulled his feeding tube out of his nose & the formula was all over him, his outfit & his bedding. So he had another outfit change, new bedding & he needed more food. Derrick fed him a bottle & he actually did really well. He took about 40 cc's from the bottle (he gets 58), but we have no idea how much he actually got through the feeding tube. I figure it will all even out at some point. He really is being a stinker today though!
As for the data stuff, Dylan is 6 lbs. 10 oz. & is 19 inches long. A friend of mine on my pregnancy board just had her baby this morning & she had the same measurements that Dylan does today! It's funny to me that he is the same size as a regular newborn finally! He is now allowed 4 bottles per day & seems to be doing well with that so far. Dylan is still on 25% oxygen – I am not sure when they will start making changes to that again. I really hope they make some changes soon. It would be awesome for him to get off the oxygen completely.
That's about it for us today. We are still just waiting on Dylan to learn to eat better. I told Derrick the other day that since Dylan is not supposed to be here yet & if he was born on his due day (January 6th) he would still spend a couple days in the hospital, I am allowing him until January 10th to get out of here! Otherwise Dylan will be in trouble :)
So that's today's update. Besides that Dylan has been ornery today, it has been a pretty good day! I hope you have had a good one, too!
