The nurses had me bring blankets, a stuffed animal & clothes from home for Conner so that his hospital crib would be more comforting and that made me realize that Conner's hospital stay was going to be a while. It was the smack of reality I needed & we set up camp at the NICU. Conner's crib was decorated with a white sports blanket Jason's great-grandmother gave him & Jason picked out a stuffed football to go in Conner's crib. Today Conner held my finger for the first time. Also today, He started getting fed today instead of just having an IV. He was fed breast milk every 3 hrs via feeding tube & I got to help feed him one time. His oxygen was decreased to 4.0 LPM at 24% oxygen still on a vapotherm machine. The nurses added adavant to his medications because our "spunky" son kept removing the feeding & oxygen tubes from his face & they needed to calm him. Jason & I were kind of proud that Conner was giving the nurses a hard time.
