Education

We are on track for Saturday!!

Ryan has had a great day/night!! He is taking all of his feeds with ease! His oxygen levels have been great AND the APN said that his CO2 has been the lowest that they’d seen it!!

Ryan ‘endured’ another car seat test this afternoon.

I say Endured because he DETESTS! The car seat!!

He was required to complete 1.5 hours in his car seat.

 They do this to insure that the seat will not cause any problems to their breathing/heart rate/pulse ox. We also learned that our seat is definitely NOT on the recall list if we were wondering.

While Ryan was being tested Gammy and I had a little ‘studying’ of our own
to complete. We learned all about car seat safety and nutrition.

The car seat video although outdated. . Was very informational.

Gammy held him for a while before it was time for shift change and for us to leave and head home. At times Ryan is too smart for his own good. He has figured out when Mommy goes to take him from Gammy and burrito him that that means we are leaving. This is one of the many faces I see when he realized it is time for his family to leave.

I have to be honest it breaks my heart that he ‘knows’ we are leaving. I’m just trying to look ahead to tomorrow when we get to bring him home again!!

On a lighter note . . . We made a ‘necessity’ trip to Baby’s R US after we left the hospital.
We picked up a few ‘essentials.’ J

 Dean also picked out a car seat for the Jeep. Seeing as how the Jeep has cloth
sides the car seat had to be the very ‘best’ it could be!!

I swear it was like a women shoe shopping!! In the end we found a very
safe seat for Ryan in Daddy’s jeep!! (and YES Gammy is DOSE have a cupholder!!)
