We found out this morning that Stella would definitly be moved to the neonatal transition suite today. I didn't take the news very well. Normally going to the transition suite would be great news for parents - it means your baby is doing well enough to share a nurse with two other babies (instead of one), and in most cases that your baby is close to being sent home. For us, and all parents of multiples, having one baby sent to the NTS means splitting up your family. Especially here, when the NTS is two floors down in the pediatric ward. It also means that we can't show Stella through a window anymore because it is not set up that way downstairs. Randy's positive attitude helped me feel better, and we feel grateful that we were able to put the move off as long as we did. But in the end this change makes a miserable situation worse.
Randy left around 2 o'clock today to go home for a few games - St. Lawerence Central tonight, and Malone tomorrow. Grandma and Grandpa Goolden are visiting for the weekend. They arrived at 7 pm, just in time to see Stella through the window one last time. They made the walk with Stella and I down to the NTS. For me it wasn't the happy experience going to the NTS is supposed to be, so having Mom and Dad here made it a little easier.
Trey had a pretty good day. They kept him on cpap the entire day, and will likely do so throughout the weekend. Hopefully we can give hi-flow oxygen a try again in a few days.

Bethey - Stay positive. Hopefully Stella will be able to leave the hospital and be able to be with you all the time, therefore she will soon be with her brother again! I am sorry they had to split you guys up,but it is a good thing in this case. We will see you soon. Love to all! Melissa
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how hard it must be for you and Randy having the twins separated. As Melissa said, stay positive! Soon you'll all be home together! Keeping you all in my prayers....
ReplyDeleteBeth - it has to be hard - but the upside is Trey will be following her very soon. So much progress has been made in the past week. God is blessing your family with great things and every step made by the babies is a step closer to their beds at home. I will catch up with you later -
