Peek-A-Boo...I See You!

I SAW MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!! This morning at 5:45am I opened my eyes and saw my mommy. She doesn't look so good when it's so early in the morning. I only have the strength to open my eyes briefly, but it was enough to melt mommy's heart....so then I opened them again just to see her melt one more time!

After Mommy recovered, she called daddy at work and told him. Daddy was one of only a few guys there so early. Daddy wasn't as excited as mommy was, but that's only because he hasn't seen me open them....I'm even more cute with my eyes open. He showed up at the hospital 20 minutes later though, much to our surprise, and he was very excited to see that I opened my eyes for him too!!!!!

Tiffany, my nurse just put some Erythromyacin in my eyes to prevent infection so now all the world is more blurry than it was 5 minutes ago. But it's okay, cuz I can still open my eyes!!!!:)

I had a pretty good night. Tiffany got me all comfy in the Burrito roll and I held my 02 sats up in the 90's for most of the night. I think I only had one apnic episode, and it was a quick one so I got some good rest. My blood gases this morning looked exactly like last night's blood gas, which were pretty good too. Now I have to have a chest x-ray in a few minutes, so I'll desat a little bit because I don't like radiation!!!!!

I'm eating really really good these days. It's hard to believe I started getting 1 CC of food every three hours just last week. Do you know that I've done so well eating mommy's juice that I'm now getting 9 or 10 CCs every three hours? The way the doctor wrote the order is that in a 12 hour period I can have 36-40 CCs of mommy's juice, depending on what's left in my tummy! Well I've been doing really great because I don't have anything left in my tummy when they check me before my next feeding. And sometimes I throw a fit after 2.5 hours because my tummy is empty and I want to eat more!!!! I like to make life difficult for my nurses! Mommy says she doesn't know where I put it all!!! But then daddy laughs at mommy and reminds her that 10 CCs is really only 2 teaspoons of food. Mommy says she knows that, but I'm only 1 lb and 12 oz. so 2 teaspoons every three hours is A LOT OF FOOD!!!!!


P.S. Mommy is working on getting some new pics on here, but the dial-up connection was kicking her off last night. She'll keep trying! But just so you know, she's been too busy lookin at me to get a picture with my eyes open yet.
