So I apologize for the delay in updates, things can get away from me pretty quickly. On top of what is going on with Landon, there is some other family stuff going on so my brain is pretty much mush these days.
There have still been very few changes with our little man. They have been a little more vigilant with Landon these past two day because he has a small heart murmur that they are watching closely. I guess with babies this age this can happen, they just want to make sure it doesn't get worse as it can cause some issues down the road if it doesn't fix itself. Landon's oxygen levels have stayed pretty low, he is still going up on his feeds and he has gained weight both nights. We are so thankful that he is doing better but again, we are still concerned that things are a little "too good to be true" right now. We do have some amazing nurses that are taking care of him and are very involved with his progress.
In the NICU you can request primary nurses, every time they work they will be your nurse. It is wonderful for us because we get to know them and trust them and it is great for Landon because they learn everything about him and become advocates for him. They learn what things upset him, what side he likes to lay on, etc. The nurses that have agreed to primary our little man are amazing and are making sure he is doing as well as he can at this point. We have also just become friends with them and now get little surprises like this:
Yeah, we now get diaper messages! (Thank you Julia, love it) :)
Our little man has also been super awake lately when we do his cares. We love seeing him open his eyes and look around. He is just so cute, we can't help but take pictures of him.
Thanks so much for checking our blog and keeping updated on our little baby. We still can't believe he is here and that three weeks have passed already!
Much love,
Jason and Kristin
