Week 16 – Day 5

Brendan had another day of just moderate agitation/irritability with no real explanation. His heart rate stayed high and he was breathing rapidly. He still was having some reflux issues.
The doctors realized that they should probably give him his Prevacid orally instead of in his NJ tube or else it would be totally bypassing his stomach and not getting a chance to work.
When we called in last night, they were so pleased with what a good night he was having, so we were really hoping to see him having a great day.
He won’t be able to come home until we can all figure out what is going on with him.

Gramma visited today so she could have a chance to “smother” Brendan

Brendan likes to get his “teeth brushed”. This little sponge on a stick is great for cleaning his dry lips and gums. But while cleaning him up, he really likes to lick and chew on it like a lollypop.

Getting Brendan all tucked in when we left. He had settled down a bit with Gramma holding him and hopefully he was able to get some rest.

Trevor slept a lot today hanging out with daddy so he had energy for some tummy time.

Trevor is now totally ready for walks outside, he has a hat to protect his bald little head!
