Well, not so much today at the pumpkin patch! It was blazing hot! We did have a great time! It definitely wore both Ellie and I out!
But tonight Beckett's temp has been a little on the cold side, even with a shirt, sleeper, and swaddled blanket on. So he had to strip back down to his t shirt and they put the isolette temp probe back on. So now the isolette is chasing his temp again to adjust accordingly. We just don't want him burning calories trying to maintain his temp at this point in the game. However, I did snap a pic before he lost his sleeper. This is a preemie outfit, and you can still see he's swimming in it. They did take the canulaid off his nose (just to see how he would do) and so far so good. Of course as I am typing this he stopped bubbling. Pray for Beckett's nose...it is so sore from the prongs and the air that escapes from the pressure.
He is desatting quite a bit (this means he isn't apneac per se because he hasn't held his breath more than 20 sec). But he is bringing his oxygen saturation right back up. His belly is still distended, but still soft, and bowels are souunding good.
Love, love, love the airplanes we are getting. I took another pic! It is such a neat thing to share with the nurses too! Thank you for loving on our Beckett this way!
