This is my isolette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My isolette is my best friend. It is my life. For now.
The isolette does two things for me. One of the wires on my body, the heart shaped one in fact, monitors my temperature. When I’m too warm the isolette cools down and when I’m too hot it warms up. It is also kept very humid, about 70% humidity, to help keep my skin moist and comfortable. The humidity will begin to be reduced in a week or two.
I have as many wires as my brother! He can tell you about most of them. The important thing is that I am breathing on my own and tolerating my food. You may have noticed that I have some pretty cool leg armor. Rest assured, there is nothing wrong with my leg. I have a temporary IV in my leg and this help remind me to keep my leg straight.
