Let's Go Joe
8/2/18
technically it's 8/3 now
My favorite drink from the snack galley, it was the first thing they gave me after delivery, so yummy.
My last menu filled out. The food is pretty good & you get a lot of. I'm tired of the same though ;)
Your morning report starts with you coming back in the room without your IV. It blew again. They gave a choice of putting it back in or doing the last 3 rounds of antibiotics as a shot.....um shots please! So it has been a nice day without the iv stand and worrying about where you are in the room and what it might snag on.
HIs weight remains teetering around 8lbs. He was down 6.2% this morning weighing in at 7.75lbs His bilirubin was "stable" but the new pediatrician that came on call wanted to leave the lights on him while he was here as a precautionary so it doesn't rebound again and have to go home with us (it better not).
My parents, grandma and brother drove up from Nebraska today rolling into town just in time for Wayne and I to slip out to the parent sports meeting. It was nice to see and talk to some of "my people" today.
We got back and visited a bit then not long after they all left, I had just turned on the pump & in walks my nurse & says I'm moving downstairs, every maternity room is now full and if someone walks in in labor they have no rooms. YIKES!
I'm bummed to be out of the nice area of the hospital into this smells funny, weird layout, not my people or my comfort zone for the past week area of the hospital. It's only for about 12 hours, but ugggggggggggggg.
Your welcome whomever delivers int he next 12-18 hours!!!!
So I had even taken some stuff out to the vehicle earlier when we left for the meeting, however I still had enough stuff in the room to fill a 3 shelf cart! Of course that was just with the nurse and I chucking it quickly on the cart. There was a definite sense of urgency, yet I walked by one open delivery room too and when I asked my nurse when the next one was coming in, she just answered she didn't know but they wanted to be ready. I think someone must have called and decided they may or may not need to come in soon.
A nurse from the main area of the hospital, and her trainee, came up and got the rundown on Joe's condition and meds and care instructions. Then they grabbed Joe's bassinet, my cart & my pump and we headed to the back elevators. Another nurse was heading for home & that darn Hugs alarm was doing its annoying thing it does all the time & her trying to get out the door was giving grief with the security system. As we waiting for the elevator, all the noises of the door, the overhead system & the change in alarm tone, Nurse Niiki from downstairs says DOES HE STILL HAVE HIS HUGS ON!?!?!?! oh totally he does. We are setting off the alarms!
bwahahahaha!!!!
The nurse who was leaving said, well I guess it still works. As the overhead is repeating CODE 6, AN infant is being abducted.
We had to wheel Joe back over to the nurse's station & cut the band off & shut the system down.
HILARIOUS.
Really can't get out of here soon enough now though. Lets hope his labs all look great at 5am & We can leave right after his 9am antibiotic!
