Stevie is so much like his dad. He gets bored extremely easily. So this morning he got bored of the ventilator, called Sr Tash and said "please get rid of these pipes in my lungs". So that's just what she did.
He was extubated earlier and instead of going from ventilator to SiPap to oxygen mask to nasal oxygen, he went from ventilator to nasal oxygen. Now we wait again and see what the twelve o clock blood gases hold. Again, we hope he stays in this great condition.
The jaundice count is down so they've switched the lights off. I hope those stay off permanently too, cause he got a horrible rash from them. Almost like measles.
While sister Tash was there he also asked her to remove all the tubes going into his umbilical cord. Bored with those too he tells her.....
So now his nappy can close - a good thing, becasue he was making a bit of a mess in the bed. This morning when i was helping the sister change it, i preceded to pour the milk from the feeding syringe all over him and I. We both though that playing with mom's milk was funny :-) A picture below. He's still a bit puffy from protein build up, but that will subside in days to come.
Mom and dad are elated for now!
