Doing okay today

After sacrament meeting (church), Lance and I took the girls to see Parker. It is definitely not as peaceful a visit with the girls with us. They did pretty well, when it was time to go they let us know it. We stayed for about an hour. I think Lance and I would have loved to stay longer, but wasn't going to be possible with the girls.

On the way to the Hospital we were able to swing by and pick up my new bracelet. What do you call it? Oh yeah "Push Present: A gift after giving birth" We purchased a bracelet from Tiffany's a couple of days after Parker was born with Parker's name and NICU ID number engraved on it. It will be nice to have something sentimental to help us remember all of this... as if we would forget.

Parker is doing great today. He is still at 21% oxygen. He is now 2lbs 3oz and is on 1ml of breast milk. They will talk about increasing feeds during morning rounds. They will probably check his blood again later this week. He received 14.4 ml of blood yesterday over a four hour period. The IV is actually through a vain on the top of his head. When we visited today, he kept grabbing at it. I thought for sure he would yank it out like he did with the intubation tube earlier this week. When we called tonight at 11:00pm he was behaving and leaving the IV alone. The night nurse said that he was really active and has not had a sleep apnea spell yet tonight. All this week he has been on caffeine to help him with the apnea. It really seems to help him.
