Wow

WOW indeed! And not as in "ways of working" or "world of warcraft", but WOW as in we've had an incredible day!

We started yesterday afternoon with removing Elliots CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) which uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open - the doctors had decided we should give it a try. 24 hours later he's still doing awesome. Today we then decided to give him his second bath ever, and when done the doctors decide not to put the electrons back on at all, but to just keep the saturation one. 

This is where I get the OH-SHIT-WHAT'S-BLOODY-HAPPENING-HERE feeling, I really have had no time to prepare for not being able to see the monitor (FYI, the monitor becomes the almighty in here, who keeps track of your little baby and how he/she is doing with monitoring heartbeats, breathing and saturation. The monitor has been our best friend for five weeks now and you do NOT want to lose this happy little helper. However, as a parent you kinda HAVE to, as you will need to look at your baby instead of the monitor. INCREDIBLY scary).


Anywho, what feels like five minutes later (in truth closer to ten... or perhaps 30), Susana comes back to the room where Elliot and his three baby friends stay, telling Dan (I had a date with the horrible tittie machine) that since Elliot is doing so great we can move to "the growth corridor" tomorrow..! The growth corridor" really is what the name suggests; this is where babies move to when they're stable enough to leave the emergency room, and get to live with their parents. We have a little boy! We really thought this would be another two weeks, but it looks like Elliot is taking the lead now deciding what happens next!

In the evening we went to my mum to celebrate her 59th birthday so we got to end this wonderful day with some yummy cake and coffee - coult id be any better? :-)


Soooo... as you can see, we've had a WOW day :-)
