Star Fish

Since Trey is an older baby the risk of self-extubation is greater so NICU staff are really cautious about taking care of him.  This photo shows some star fish shaped bean bags that are used as boundaries for premies, and in this case as restraints so Trey can't grab onto his tube!

Yesterday Trey gained almost one ounce - two consecutive days of weight gain is great news!  Today a test for Cystic Fibrosis was ordered, and another wean on his medication was attempted.





We miss Randy/Daddy
and can't wait for him to be back!

    Hi Beth,
    I too had a son in the FAHC NICU in 2008 who was born at 25 weeks and was intubated for a long time (10 + weeks.) I can relate to the feeling you are having on a daily basis with a baby in the NICU. All I can say is hang in there~it gets much better :) All the best to your family and your 2 precious babies.
