Since Henry is pretty stable lately, I think I am going to decrease my blog posts to once or twice a week. We will see how things go.
Here’s Henry’s latest:
- Now weighs 1290 grams (he started at 1150). This is not water weight. Yay for Hank! Goal: 4000 grams for pacemaker placement.
- Still on high flow oxygen (about 5 liters).
- Feeds are being increased daily and he really tolerates the feeds well.
- Milrinone off. Follow up ECHO on Wednesday.
- Arterial line out.
- Not on too many drugs. Hydrocortisone being tapered off. Diflucan for 2 more days (antifungal – used just in case). Caffeine. Morphine and versed as needed for agitation (usually gets 1 or 2 doses of each per day).
- Happy baby who is content to sleep in his warm house.
Tonight, I got to hold Hank for the first time. His nurse Jenny and I gave him a bath and changed his bedding. He was awake the whole time and really didn’t get too upset. What a sweet baby.

When I had my twins they couldn't be held for a while either. When you get to make that physical contact, they feel so much more like yours. Congrats!
I'm so very happy you got to hold him :) :) :)
