Sunday, NICU Day 4 continued

Filed Under NICU, Newborn- Taylor | 1 Comment

I had lots of time alone in the late evening. So I took some self portraits of Taylor and me.

Sunday night before I left, Taylor’s nurse, Kim, got him set up for his carseat challenge. Each baby in the NICU has to do a test where they sit in their carseat for two hours without having any heartrate drops or breathing problems. They have to pass this test before they are released. His nurse was thinking he might get to go home in the next few days, so she said to go ahead and bring in his carseat. If they don’t pass, they have to try again on another day, so they typically don’t like to do it on the last day.

Here he is all set up for his little test. Nothing “after market” can be added to the carseat so he was without his cozy infant headrest. Hence the crazy head tilt.

Yes that is a sock on his hand. His scratch mittens will NOT stay on… too big!

I went home after he got set up for his carseat test and I pumped one last time to leave for overnight. It was about 11:30 and my dad came to pick me up. I was waiting for him to pull up outside and noticed this sign. Does anyone notice the overwhelming amount of commas? I know I am picky about grammar and punctuation, but really? No one proofread this before posting it in front of a major hospital?
