Today was another day of positive steps for Luke. This morning his nurse said they likely wouldn't turn down the CPAP pressure because his blood gases weren't ideal. But by afternoon the Dr decided they would turn it down to 5. He tolerated this great all day. We went back tonight and just rocked him while he slept.
We love all of our NICU nurses and they love Luke. One of our favorite nurses made Luke this name badge last night for his bed. It even has his little footprints on it.
We got to dress Luke in a little shirt today, which made him extra cuddly. It was nice to hold him and not see all the cords and bandages on his little tummy.
We came home tonight and gave the boys a gift from Luke. They loved it. Hopefully Luke doesn't regret his purchase once he gets home.
2 notes:
So sweet that you have little pictures for him! Love that you are able to hold him and get him dressed. Can't wait until that little guy gets to go home!
I'm just waiting for the post of your ride home, and then food is on it's way. Tell Luke to take his time though, we want him ready for those pirates waiting at home. Big McDougall hugs!
sweet words
