Day 112 of Life - October 8th
Ma is back at the hospital, well-rested and ready to go! Pa on the other hand...
At 10:00 last night, the little Turkey pulled his oxygen tubes out of his nostrils...which he does quite often!!! Pa put them back in, but then spent the rest of the night worrying that he would do it again...so Pa was awake ALL night. When Ma showed up at the hospital this afternoon, he was very happy to see her! Even though he was completely exhausted, Pa still managed to mix enough formula for today and tomorrow, so that Ma doesn't have to do it. Pa is now at home catching up on some much-deserved rest.
The little man continues to orally feed and isn't having any problems (knock on wood). He enjoyed his quality time with his daddy and they spent a lot of time talking about how much they both missed mommy! Apparently, Pa also took some creative pictures, which I should have on Tuesday. Other than that, the Turkey sleeps, eats, looks adorable, sleeps, eats, looks adorable, etc.
Ma is starting another treatment for thrush (the infection that both her and Sha have been fighting), but as of yet, the little one does not have to start another treatment. Also, because everything happens at once, part of Ma's breast pump broke, likely from frequent sterilization (which is absolutely necessary). Unfortunately, the hospital pharmacy is closed until Tuesday and Ma can't find anywhere else to buy a replacement part...which means that she's going to be hand-pumping and it will also take twice as long as the electric pump. Good thing she caught up on her sleep last night!!!
