Not much to report on today, which is nice, Jensen has had a nice quiet day.
His milk feeds have been increased to 20 ml per kg, so having 1 1/2 ml two hourly. He has started back on his probiotics today too, so that will help sort his tummy and help with all the antibiotics he's been having.
This place has been a little better to be in today, not as much going on and not as many crying mothers about. A few new arrivals, with upset parents. I feel like chatting to them and giving them some hope, but I remember how we were when we first got here and know they probably don't want to chat, which is totally understandable. People here don't want to chat about their circumstance, I know I don't...only to a select few. So it's best to not ask questions and mainly keep to yourself.
Poor little Jensen has been trying to suck his thumb throughout the day, and because he has a splint on one hand and his oxygen probe on the other he is unable to get his fingers near his little mouth. His fingernails have grown very long too, but they are only paper thin and he won't be able to scratch himself with his marvellous talons.
He was won many hearts here in the NICU, with many nurses doting on him and commenting on his good looks, cuteness, and how big and fat he's getting... Just love him to pieces I do. He's the most beautiful thing I've seen ever (besides his daddy of course).
