Bye, Bye Isolette...Hello Big Boy Crib!


Hello, hello Joshua!

Well you are officially 1800g now...about 4lbs and you have been regulating your temperature well SO...you got to switch to a big boy crib today!  I asked the nurse if she could wait to change it until I got in there.  I'm so happy I got to be there for this milestone.  They will keep a close eye on you to make sure you aren't losing weight by burning too many calories keeping yourself warm.

Joshua's Giraffe...Anyone want to sing the Raffi song with me?

Out with the old...

In with the new...a crib!

How do you like your new bed, Joshua?

They also changed your rate to 20 bpm (18INSP, 7PEEP (total press 25), 35% O2) and you have done GREAT!  Most of your sats are in the 90s.  They just decided to change your rate to see how you'd do - the blood gas did not warrant the change but we are pleased to see you doing so well!  Our nurse Evy joked that maybe you were just claustrophobic in your old bed and that you love your new open bed, so you're breathing much easier :)

From Abby's point of view


Occupying the boys while we visit.
The Sibling Clubhouse is closed from 12-1pm

Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Mike got there right after your bed change.  You have grown and changed so much since they saw you back on Sept. 1.  Our nurse today said if our visitors don't touch Joshua or touch anything in the room they don't have to gown and glove up, so that was nice to hear.

Talking in quiet whispers about your progress.




Abby occupied herself by taking lots of photos.
