We went to church today but had to sit in the overflow room. Arianna is still battling a cold. She had a runny nose so we couldn't send her to Kid's Town. She sat with us which wasn't much fun for any of us. She is getting very spicy these days. Don't know if she is feeling the change with Isaac and our visits to the hospital or if she is just testing the water. Sometimes I think "Is this really my sweet Arianna?" When she would whine I would whine back to her in the same voice she was talking. She would look at me funny. I would say that is what you sounds like. I think I will start that up again. It couldn't hurt for her to hear how she sounds.
David and I took turns going to see Isaac today. David watched the Bears lose the game while I went to see him. He looks good. He has good coloring and surprisingly had gained quite a bit of weight He is still holding onto the 3 + lbs. I am proud of him! He is on the C-PAP but without the chin strap underneath. So it isn't as cumbersome. When I was there his heartrate kept elevating over 200. The nanny came over and thought that maybe repositioning him would work. Sure enough, when she set him on his tummy with a body pillow under his chest and a pillow for his head he calmed right down. When I first saw a baby sleeping on their tummy in the NICU I was concerned. Then I was reminded that all of the monitors would alarm the nurses if anything was going on with their breathing. I asked the nanny what will happen when he comes home wanting to sleep on his tummy. She said that they will train them to sleep on their back once they are in a regular crib in the NICU.
When I asked the nanny how he was doing from last nights episodes (it was the same woman as yesterday), she said everything looked good, no infections and few desats and bradies. So they do believe he was just tired from breathing with the nasal cannula.
I keep falling asleep as I write this. Have a good night and happy Monday!
