Days 12 and 13 - New Adventures

Harris's last two days have been much better. Though he is still on the CPAP he is doing well on it. When he tries get the CPAP out he continues to have trouble breathing so it is the CPAP for now.

Last night Debbie, one of Harris's night time nurses said "Mom why don't you take his temperature and change his diaper before you take him out to hold." Mom (me) froze in place... change the diaper!?! Never having changed a diaper before, and spoiled by the amazing nurses, I approached the isolate. Dad just looked on -- I am guessing thanking god it wasn't him. Aunt Hayley and Uncle Dan laughed -- knowing mom had no experience. In the end it proved successful and mission was accomplished.

Harris had exciting visitors over the last two days - first Aunt Hayley and Uncle Dan came and then Grammy and Pop. Because Harris is getting stronger everyone got a few minutes to snuggle with him!

The only new news is that Harris is having a difficult time gaining weight -- don't we all wish we had that problem. They have added some "powdered calories" to his milk. First caffeine then calories - amazing.
