Day 8

Well today was a good day. Kelly and I were extremely tired I had about 6 hours and she was up and down every two hours or so. Wyatt, did really well through the night. This morning his bilirubin was down to a 1, he gets the blue light if it goes back to 10 or more. His CRP was down to 3ish from 8.2. The Doctor has ordered his IV line in his bellybutton hole to be removed. The nurse tried to put in a IV in a vein but couldn't get one stated. So the line stays in the belly for another day. One of the big events of the day was Wyatt getting his intubation tube changes out. He was not happy about that. Below is a photo of him without a tube in. Pretty stinking cute if you ask me. The highlight of our day of course was getting to hold Wyatt, about 2.5 hours between the two of us. We left at 6pm (the NICU kicks all visitors out from 6-8 for shift change) to go home. Our neighbor brought over diner, we ate, and headed back to the hospital about ten after eight.

1:15am We are back home. Little Wyatt has having a rough evening. Pulse oxygen kept dropping. Finally became stable when we left. Pray for the little one.
