\"november-5-018.jpg\"<\/a>Well today we got back on the horse so to speak.\u00a0 I got to hold Greyson again.\u00a0 This time went MUCH MUCH better.\u00a0 His blood gasses were good last night and at noon and I was able to hold him for almost four hours.\u00a0 He was a bit squirmy at times, but we really enjoyed the time together.\u00a0 Stacy liked it to because she was able to look at him and touch him a lot while I held him.\u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n

We were blessed today to hear two great words while we were at the hospital.\u00a0 The first came when the nurse was talking to another nurse (for the shift change).\u00a0 She told the oncoming nurse that Greyson was doing really well, and this is how it should be for every baby in the NICU.\u00a0 The second was when the Dr. made his rounds and talked with us.\u00a0 He talked about the setbacks the first couple weeks but how Greyson was “thriving” now.\u00a0 We love that word thriving!\u00a0 As I said his blood gasses have been good and they have now instituted orders to lower his ventilator rate every 12 hours providing his blood gas is good after the change.\u00a0 The Dr. said that there may be bumps in the road where he has to stay at a setting for a little while, but he expected Greyson to ween off the vent pretty quickly at this point.\u00a0 Only Greyson and God know for sure but it was such a word of encouragment that this could happen fairly soon.\u00a0 It has always felt like it was something that was not even discussed because it was so far in the future.\u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n

PS–For those that are concerned, the nurse assured me Greyson didn’t mind the hairy chest at all!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
