Day 28 in NICU, October 15th 2008


Today was another milestone for me! I am officially off my oxygen! I did so good eating and breathing at the same time that there is no need for those uncomfortable tubes in my nose. Now I am working on getting that feeding tube out of my nose too! Mommy and Daddy were by my side all day today holding me and loving me which feels so good. Mama and Papa came to give me love too!! At 4pm today nurse Mary and mommy took me down to get an ultrasound on my hips just to make sure my hips are in place and up to measurement, which they are measuring perfectly! I need to get some more blood drawn to give the doctors further analysis on some tests that came back with a low count. (Nothing to be too afraid of right now) Just taking precautions. But all in all today was a pretty mellow day which I love so I can grow and get ready to go home!

Kingsley's poem


New little babies gifts from above
sent to you with so much love!
Swaddle them close Wrap 'em up tight
they feel secure never out of your sight!
Strong and brave that's how they grow
knowing your love will always show!
The parallel here is for you and me
to stop and realize what we see!
All of us are babies sent from above
we are wrapped in the blanket
we know as God's Love!
