Day 5
Today was a big day for me. The doctors removed my breathing tube and I’m back on the nose tube. This much more comfortable. I even started sucking on a binky. I find it very soothing at times.
My skin is a little bit yellow, which I understand is normal for babies my age. The doctors are going to put me under a light tomorrow to help me process the chemicals in my blood that make my skin yellow. It should be fine in a couple of days.
My lungs are getting stronger every day. The doctors say the air pockets are gone now and I shouldn’t have to worry about them anymore.
Mommy got to hold me today and I was very excited about that. It was peaceful in her arms and I can’t want to do it more when I get home.
Daddy showed up too and that was cool, but my eyes don’t work so well yet and his glasses were kind of scary.
