Sorry I did not get a chance to post last night. So, I am doing it now for Thursday. So a lot to talk about. Crazy day. First off we got slammed Wednesday night with a horrible hail and lightning storm. I layed down to go to sleep and saw out the corner of the window massive lightning, so I turned on the weather channel because another storm had just gone through Cedar Park a little bit north of where we were and I didn't know if it was part of that one or seperate. As soon as I turn the tv on they are telling everyone in our area to take cover and get away from the windows. So of course the first thing I do is look out the window to see what is going on. lol. I went and woke up my mom asking if we had anything important we needed out of the car just in case. She said she was going to try and move it because of the hail we were supposed to get. I told her if it was bad when she got downstairs not to go out. And of course by the time she got downstairs it was hitting everywhere around us so she decided to leave it be. Way too dangerous to even go outside. With in 5 minutes of her getting back upstairs to our room we were getting blasted with massive amounts of hail. My room and the hallway in front of our room is all glass windows so it was pretty freaky with all the hail that was hitting it. Since it was coming in from the side of the building we were very lucky to not get any windows broken, but it sure sounded like it was going to at any minute. Scared the crud out of me. It knocked out the lights in the parking lot across the street. Winds of the storm in downtown were 48 miles an hour, but since they built the Ronald McDonald House where the old airport used to be there is nothing but flat land around us so we got 60 mile and hour winds. Yea pretty freaky. Scared the crap out of me. As soon as it was over, I of course called to check on Blake. The nurse said he never even flinched. That is so Robert's son! Made me fell much better and I could finally fall asleep.
You should see my poor mom trying to lift my wheel chair in and out of the car anytime we go somewhere. That thing is so heavy so I hope she doesn't kill her back doing it. I keep teasing her that she is going to loose weight and get a good work out wihle doing it.
Robert got in last night around 11pm. He had an interesting trip up here. He git a deer on the way here. He got very lucky in that it did only a small amount of damage to his truck and that he was not hurt.
Well we finally got to go see Blake at 1:00 in the morning. His nurse was the one that I got upset with the other evening because of his oxygen levels. I decided to give her another chance because I thought maybe she was having a bad night. Everyone has a bad day once in a wihle. She was much better. She is just the type of person that is all about following a strict routine. Where the other nurses are very accomidating to our schedule, she is not as much. And that is ok because she is doing her job. When i called she told me that they were not going to do his bath at 11:30 like I was told we could do and that is the same time we have always done. She told me she was feeding him at 10:30 and couldn't bath him after she did that. I ws upset because I was trying to explain to her that Robert was coming in and wouldn't be there till 11:00 pm and that since the NICU is closed at 10:00-11:30 we couldn't come any earlier anyway. She said she could do it at 1:30 am and I said that was fine we would be there. I called to check on him at 11:00 and she apologized for upsetting me earlier. She explained that because his feedings the day before had been changed and pushed back, if she were to hold off an hour to feed him till we got there for his bath, his glucose level would drop and we would have a really hard time. I let her know that I appreciated her explaining it to me and I was more comfortable knowing why she wanted to change it. I told her I do better once people explain things to me so that I know what is going on at all times. That way I do not worry. So now as of right now I am much more comfortable with her.
We went for his bath. He did a good job but got mad because he got his bath and then a suctioning right after. The doctor had ordered him an enama, I guess he was constipated. I felt so bad for him, it looked really uncomfortable getting it. They use a little syringe to do it, but he is so tiny....owww. The nurse cleaned his poopy diaper and a few minutes later he gave her a nice gift again. He then did another one, and another one, and another one and another.....about six times till he was finally done. He cleaned himself out that is for sure. We couldn't stop laughing because every time she got him cleaned he pooped all over himself again. After she finished, he kept trying to open his eyes but the overhead lights were in his eyes. Robert stepped in front of the incubator to block the lights from shining on his face. He looked up at Robert, it was so sweet.
Ok now i am going to start on a new blog for tonight.
