Still Flying Solo

Flying solo.
Yep, Parker is still the only one who has escaped the confines of the NICU.

Emery was to come home today (for, I do believe, the FOURTH time!) and yet, she is still hanging in the hospital (one of these days I will grab the two of them and make a break for it :) ). But for once she switched it up a bit. Her discharge was delayed this time not for a bradycardic or desat event. No, this time it was due to a black stool she had last night. Unfortunately we now have to wait for her to stool again so it can be checked for blood and infection and THEN she can come home. At least Isaac and Emery seem quite cozy...



Since I posted last, both Emery and Isaac had sleep studies. I happened to be there when Isaac was being wired up... Can you say "Mad Scientist"?


Neither study showed anything worrisome, but both will be coming home on Pulse oximetry monitors so that we know if their heart rate or oxygen saturations drop too low.

For now, we are enjoying having Parker at home... and enjoying the extra sleep which we won't be getting once the entire brood has made a break for it.

While we wait for the other two to slip the surly bonds of the NICU, here is a bit of entertainment. Parker was kind enough to humor his mother as she snapped a few pictures. The photo shoot came to an abrupt halt when he peed while naked.




And while we wait for Emery... talk amongst yourselves...
