A Calm Day

Henry was relatively calm today. He slept for most of the time I was there. Janice turned up the oxygen, so Henry did a little less sat surfing than yesterday. His weight is at 780 grams. His blood sugar levels looked good. They have stopped doing the daily blood gases because the last several tests looked good. They'll probably take them twice a week rather than daily, which will give his little heel a rest.

The day shift nurses were still rather noisy at times (talking about movies). One of them was giving directions to his house to someone on the telephone. But at least no one was singing "Isn't She Lovely?" like one nurse was doing the night before last.

There was a bit of a commotion in the area right of Henry's isolette again, but it was the staff taking ultrasounds of the baby's heart. The family that was so noisy last night was actually pretty quiet this morning. It sounded to me like the baby is going to go home tomorrow. The nurse was asking the mother if she had watched the videos that all parents must watch before discharge. So, hopefully, the pod will be a little more quiet tomorrow.
