Day 42 of Life - July 30th

Auntie is now back in town. Thanks to Ma for keeping everyone up-to-date. It was an odd feeling for me today when I got home, as Ma and Pa were visiting the little one and I needed an update on the boy. So, logically, I got on the blog and was able to catch up on what I had missed! But, enough about me!

Sha was extubated again today and is now back on the Aladdin. So far, he seems to be quite happy, at least compared to last week! He's still throwing his temper tantrums and then his oxygen requirements go up, but they always decrease after he calms down. Turkey! There are some techniques to calm him down, which everyone is getting to know well. Dr. B held his soother in for an hour today and Grandma and Grandpa Cush took over the job. Later on, the little man was throwing yet another tantrum and despite all of the efforts, he wasn't calming down. Then Ma, who has managed to develop motherly instincts despite the fact that she's not around 100% of the time, came in and immediately decided to check his diaper. No wonder the little one was so angry!!! Sometimes it just takes a mother to know what is wrong. Go "Ma of the Year"!!!

Otherwise, our little Turkey is doing well and now just needs to learn to control his mighty temper!!!
