Life in the NICU

This is the journal of our life in the NICU with our son born at 23 6/7 weeks gestation. Beau was 1 pound 13 ounces and 13 3/4" long.

June 26th, 2006. Beau tested positive for blood in his meconium yesterday and today. They stopped feedings yesterday because of it, but are resuming at a reduced amount today. Poor baby, that's all he needed on top of this infection.

Today they're going to test his blood to see how effective the antibiotic has been. They're still suctioning out his lungs every few hours. He's on less oxygen than he has been lately. I'm taking that as a good thing- his lungs are getting rid of the secretions and allowing oxygen to be absorbed. (?) He also has a follow-up ultrasound scheduled this week on his head.
