Big Boy Bed

May 13, 2013

Well today when I got to the NICU, Bridger was in a big boy bed...(That is what the nurse called it)
Last night they were able to take out his PICC line and he has been holding his own temperature so this means he graduated to a normal bed like you see in the well baby nursery. He was also dressed in a little sleeper and all swaddled up like a healthy boy. The only things we have left to get rid of are the feeding tube and the oxygen... To Bad they are both so important!  He still struggles with keeping his breathing in a normal pattern. He sometimes gets up to 120 breathes per minute, normal range should be below 50. He still has a ways to go with that and until we get the oxygen levels down, the feedings are mostly through a tube. I still get to hold him a little bit so as long as that doesn't change things will be o.k. :)
