Wed. Oct. 24th

Luke is pushing back a bit with some of the changes he has had recently, but overall doing okay. He's had more desat spells and is requiring a bit more oxygen, which is most likely going off the diuretics. We're hoping he can adjust to the change, so he won't need those anymore. Another wait and watch type of thing.
This evening Jeremy and I met with the Charge Nurse and the NICU Manager to see about getting continuity in Luke's nursing care. Luke has a primary day nurse and evening nurse, but since they work 12hr shifts they are typically there for no more than 3 days a week, which means the other 4 days can end up with nurses he's never had. When they don't know him it creates a little turmoil when they see some of the things Luke does, which are just the regular things he does. We have a good plan moving forward, so we'll see how it plays out.
Tomorrow Jeremy and I have a CPR class. The NICU asks all parents to take the class. If there are any scenarios that pop up while Luke is in the NICU, then we can practice before we go home. It's more of a just in case type of thing.
Thank you all again for those prayers. They are really helping!!
