Just got back from seeing Alex in the NICU. I spent about 45 minutes sitting with him, talking to him and generally enjoying his company.
The gang is on their way to see their new brother. Unfortunately Braden has a cold, so they will not be able to go in and see him. But we hope to be able to bring him over to a window so they can see him. He’s still on a cannula getting air, but the nurse thought that they’d probably clear him to take it out.
Alex is doing very well. He’s breathing well, eating well, and sleeping a lot. They think he’ll need some light therapy for jaundice because he’s so ‘ruddy’ right now. They took him off of the neonatal service and is now being attended by a regular pediatrician. But it is starting to sound like he’ll be in the NICU for at least the weekend if not longer.
Once nice thing here is that they have some boarding rooms that we can use if he stays longer than we do, free of charge. We’re not sure what we’re going to do, but it’s great knowing we have the option to stay here and be near him.
