Moving Day!!!

Par spent the first part of his day enjoying the hustle and bustle of the NICU 3--but soon after lunch the orders were in for him to be moved down to NICU 2--lots of babies were coming and they needed the room! Packing is pretty easy--they just threw all his cords into the bed with him and we were off to his new home! A little bit cramped--but hopefully we won't be here long.





Par was worn out from the move and all the eating he has been doing--so it was a pretty low key day--he mostly napped between feeds or just stared at his mobile. We noticed this morning that he had a PICC line put in his forearm last night to replace his central line in his neck. The surgery team came by after we settled into the NICU 2 and removed the central line--Par didn't even cry! Par has been eating well and is up to 9cc's every three hours! I fed him a few times today--once he burped twice and nothing came up (yay!)--the other times he had a little bit of a wet burp--but nothing out of the ordinary for a baby. Par has now been started on Reglan to help him with reflux and to tolerate his feeds--more of a precautionary thing.



Our sneaky son has learned to fake sleep--today we caught him opening one eye to make sure we were still there. We were--with camera in hand--how clever is our little boy! Tonight when we left he really had fallen asleep--he was awake in his bed and so I picked him up and he just went right to sleep and then I set him in the bed and we left--hard to leave, but easier that he was asleep.



We continue to pray for his feeding, reflux and his little body that is surely still healing from his repair surgery. We praise God for allowing us to be here in Gainesville--we thank Him for our many blessings.

Please continue to pray for Par's friends and that they will continue to heal--we pray they will join us soon in the NICU 2.

Love, Liz, Rusty & New NICU 2 resident, Par
