Well a lot has happened today. Zane is off of the ventilator and the dopamine drip. He now has a cpap that sends air through his nose but his lungs are doing well. His blood pressure is even better off of the dopamine. So he is doing better in those two areas. The drainage continues from both chest tubes so no real progress there. He is under a sun lamp because he has developed jaundice but that is not unusual. So we are encouraged because he is making progress but the Dr. still is concerned about the drainage.
After we visited Zane I wheeled Laurie over to the Labor and Delivery area and visited some of the wonderful nurses that cared for Laurie last week. Throughout our stay at St. David’s these ladies have continued to check on Laurie when they were off duty and after Zane was born they have visited him in the NICU. It is very obvious that they truly care about the people in their charge. God was guiding us when Laurie was admitted to St. David’s Hospital.
We are still in our room on the seminary campus. I was told today that the apartment would be available for us on Thursday but the cable and internet won’t be hooked up until Saturday. It is a fully furnished apartment with linens and silverware etc., so we shouldn’t need much from home.
Laurie talked to her mom a little while ago and Mignon is doing well and settling into a routine. She misses us but is going to sleep just fine and she is eating well. I miss her to and I am looking forward to her coming for Christmas.
