How cute are my feet? So cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at that smile!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got a head massage today. It was very relaxing. The nice nurse put some warm hair gel on my head and then rubbed it in gently with massage wand. It felt wonderful. I hope they do that every day.

Later the nurse told mommy and daddy that it was an “ultra sound” and that it revealed no bleeding inside of my head. Mommy and daddy were excited.

I’m now free of that incessant blue light! And those meddling eye covers. Just in time to enjoy my new isolette cover. Thanks Grandma Buchholz!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may be wondering about the blue light special. This light helps me break down bilirubin because my liver isn’t fully formed. Buildup of bilirubin can lead to jaundice. And I don’t want that!

It’s been a long day. Good night!

Mommy and daddy came to visit! Too bad I was exhausted from the events of the day and slept through it.

You might be wondering about some of the cool wearable technology you see on me. The glowing attachment on my foot monitors my oxygen levels. The heart shaped sticker on my stomach monitors my body heat. And the tubes in my nose give me supplemental oxygen. I’ve been on very low levels of supplemental oxygen since my birth! Oh, it also reminds me to breathe when I forget (which is normal for someone my age).

Some of the other wires you see monitor my heart rate and blood pressure as well as feed me. So far they haven’t put any pizza or buffalo wings down my feeding tube. I’m sure they’ll be on the menu soon.

Mommy said hi to Henry first because there was a nurse caring for me when she came down. I was jealous. It was euphoric when she finally said ‘Hi’ to me. Her touch was soft and comforting. I love my mommy.
