Recovery: Day 1

Overnight Jameson was given two doses of pain medication that affected his breathing causing desats and bradys - terms we never wanted to hear again after the NICU. Bag masks were required to bring his O2 levels back up and they administered a drug to reverse the pain meds. Jameson was given a nasal cannula to help stabilize him.

Once we arrived at the hospital Jameson was fussy and in a lot of pain. He was on Tylenol and they were looking into other options. Raechel tried to hold him for the first time since surgery and Jameson was not comfortable. So he was put back to bed. Eventually a new drug was given via IV and he fell back asleep.


Sweet baby boy was not looking happy this morning

Mid day Jameson finally took a bottle for us! It brought us so much job to see a little life in him. After his feeding, he slept much more peacefully. Even Dave got a nap in.

Taking a bottle for mom! 

On nasal cannula, eyes are starting to swell

Nasal cannula was removed in the afternoon. And his color looked great after a blood transfusion. Looking forward to getting some of these tubes removed and moving out of the ICU.
