Two steps forward, one step back

I called the NICU this morning, as Kristen does on a daily basis, to get Reid's status. Everything went well last night but they decided to put him back on his CPAP. They were a little concerned about the frequency of his apnea and felt that the change to the nasal cannulas may have been a little early. Since he went back on the CPAP at 11pm, he hadn't had another case of amnea, so it seems to be working. Back to being the little astronaut he looks like with all of the tubes....

He takes his last dose of NeoProfen today and will have a follow-up EKG in the morning to see if the artery closed. From what they can tell right now, things are looking OK in that department.

We just got done with Kristen's doctor appointment. She has developed an alergic reaction to her percocet, so she is now off the good pain meds and now taking benadryl along with her motrin. Her pains have really subsided, so she should be OK with just taking the motrin.

I just dressed her wound (my dreaded daily task) and we are off to the hospital to check on the little guy. As I told Kristen this morning, the trips to the hospital are getting a little wearing on me. I have made the trip every day (and sometimes multiple times a day) for almost the past 3 months. I am ready for her to be able to drive. :) The days are getting a little easier and I am hoping that today will be a good one. I stayed up late last night (until about 3am) trying to catch up on some work, so I am a little cranky and tired, but as long as mom is happy, I am happy.
