Here is the daily tidbit, you've all been waiting for. Brady is doing well, he is on the up road. Looking better than Friday for sure. We went and visited him this afternoon and got to touch the little man. Though he was flailing his arms about a bit. Sam was being so gentle that Brady kept jerking his little hand out of Daddy's reach. Kind of funny to watch Sam trying to hold his little hand gently, but watching it jerk out of Daddy's touch.
He had his own little anger moment when they took the iv out of his hand, since he's not needing anymore blood transfusions. They put him on a new ventilator, so he's not vibrating like a model t. I bet he's liking the freedom. He's got a really high urine output due to his kidneys being immature. They are not keeping what they should be and just getting rid of lots of fluids. So to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated they are going to be giving him more fluids. They won't be doing feedings for a while, so he's getting all his nutrition through the fluid lines in a mixture that's made up just for him.
His blood pressure is high, but that is possibly a side effect from one of the drugs that they had him on. He's been having some more quiet nights and we've really been needing those. Both Sam and I with the stress have been running a little short on sleep.
So that's all of the good news wrapped up pretty neatly. So I've got the pictures that I promised of the baby room. :) Yes, now you can all see it. My parents say it's 'bright', and that he will have some getting used to the color to do. But I love it...so here is our work in progress... though getting close to being done.
