Today has been pretty good. Did you know that the doctors stopped all my IV antibiotics today? That's right....they think the culture only grew staph epi because it was contaminated from either my skin or someone elses. Oh yeah, you...me...the girl next door, we ALL have Staph Epi on our skin. Sounds kind of gross huh??
So I laid around in my bed all day while mommy and daddy worked. I mean really, someone has got to earn a living! It certainly isn't going to be me. I had a new nurse today. Her name was Cindi and she's pretty smart. She teaches other nurses how to be nurses, when she isn't being a nurse herself. She was pretty nice to me, especially since I made a couple of huge messes. First, I urinated all over my clothes and the bed. Second, I had a rather large bowel movement, and third....I threw up on myself. It was only a little bit and I blame the hospital staff entirely! *looks all innocent* I promise I would not have thrown up if they hadn't increased my food intake to 89-95 CCs of mommy juice every three hours. It may not seem like much to you, but that's a lot of mommy juice for a little guy like me!!!! I'm used to it now though, I only threw up the one time.
See, the bad thing about making three messes in one day is that then the nurses think I need to be bathed again. I personally think they just use anything as a reason to give me a bath....even when I don't stink! That's right, I got another bath today. It was just a sponge bath and I'm actually starting to like the whole water and soap thing. Especially when the water is warm...man, that feels good! I was all comfy and ready to snuggle into my clothes and get some Z's, but then they decided to put new tape on my ventilator tube....way to go nurses, now I'm really mad!!!!! :( And if that wasn't enough, they pulled my NG tube out and then put it back in....I don't know how much more I can take!!!!!!!!!!!
I literally cried my very first tear today. Not that you could hear me cry, but mommy did see my first tear. Don't get me wrong, I've cried many many times since being taken from mommy's warm insides. The only difference is that now my eyes are open and kind of working on their own....so today I made a tear. Actually, I think I made more than just one....I was not a happy camper because of the re-taping and re-positioning incidents. At least I'm finally able to rest easy since the nurses have left my room.
I'm going to be very good tonight so I don't have to see them again until morning!!!!!!!
