Ding-dong… the cereal’s gone!


Posted Aug 3, 2009 8:39pm

I apologize if yesterday’s post was a little jumbled and nonsensical. But I was upset!

Sarai got a promotion in the NICU last night, moved back to “special care!” That’s where she was a week and a half ago before we had to ship out because of her inconsistent oxygen levels. Ahhh, it’s good to be home!

The little peanut is still taking half her feeds by bottle or… hu-hum, donut. This morning she was having quite a few dips again. Unfortunately, last night’s nurse either read the orders wrong, or disregarded them, and attempted to give all her feedings to her by bottle, with rice cereal! So she was exhausted this morning, and they think that’s why she was having a hard time with her oxygen. So, today she was back to a regular feeding schedule. They decided to nix the rice cereal because it didn’t seem to be making much of a difference. (I say, good riddance! It’s like telling someone they have to finish a bowl of tomato soup with a FORK!) She had dips most of the day, not real low and she doesn’t get color changes in her face like she used to, but tomorrow they may try to give her prilosec. Wouldn’t it be nice if that was the answer?!

Furniture tomorrow! I just made a trip to Babies R Us and got mesh bumpers (thanks Beth and Aunt Kathy for the advice).

Sorry I haven’t posted pics in a couple days. I’ll try to do that tomorrow!
