NICU Opening Day!

 

8/10/09 In Seattle

Anya just flew to Seattle and boy are her arms tired...       She flew very well. She's a good little traveller.  We'll see how sleeping goes tonight (actually, she's passed-out on the bed right now).   We are here see Dr. Klinghart for our third visit.  It went really well but we'll see how his protocol works this time.  The past couple times, Anya had been too sick vomiting to hold down anything we would give her.  And not knowing what was causing the vomiting spells, we always hated to give her anything.  But now she'll take it.  We are hopeful.

 

All in all, Anya's been doing fairly well.  She still has her retching spells everyday but they seem to be less frequent.  They actually really only happen now when she is tired. Around 7am, when she had been up for a while just hanging out in her bed. Then again around noon/nap time. And once more just before bed.  The glycopyrolate seems to help but too much definitely worsens things by making her saliva too thick.

 

On Thursday Aspirus is having their grand-opening/open-house of the new "Anya Marie Jackson Newborn Intensive Care Unit". It is going to be awesome.  I'll write more on that later.  details here...http://www.aspirus.org/healthInformation/index.cfm?catID=4&subCatID=39&pageID=148&det=690
