Two nice visits to the NICU today. On the second one Ana got to hold Barnaby against her chest for an hour.
His brain ultrasound today showed his ventricle pressure as stable. Ultimately we hope it diminishes but we’ll take stability for the time being.
His stomach infection (NEC) seems to be clearing up. His white blood cell count is back down and he isn’t symptomatic but they will do the full run of antibiotics and bowel rest anyways.
We saw another tiny baby in unstable condition get admitted to the NICU today and it’s hard to believe that we were there a week ago. Barnaby is unrecognizable from where he was then, his skin is pink now and he squirms around a lot and has very expressive eyes.
Most importantly he has an incredible team of doctors and nurses paying careful attention to him and keeping all of our best interests in mind.
