May 13 Wesley update

Today was my first day being responsible for what is going on with Wesley.  And today they asked me what his name was! That was the most exciting part.  They can finally call him by his name.

 I learned that his birth mom was pumping to supply him milk.  I had to give permission to use donor milk when that ran out.  Wesley is doing well in NICU. He    Was started back on feedings after his dr spoke with me.  He has had no brain bleeds and does not need another transfusion.  His blood type is A+ which means that Joe (O+) and myself (A-) can both donate to him if needed.  Our main focus is getting his lungs strong.  His labs are all normal and no infection.  They tell me he isn't a fussy baby.  The nurse tonight was so happy she could tell me anything and she was very excited for Joe and I. 

We received our first Wesley gift today from Ms. Markham.  She gave him an adorable stuffed blue owl and a cute outfit that says Prince Charming on it :)

We decided to go with a hippo nursery theme that is green and chocolate.  I can't wait to see all the hippo stuff come in!

Tomorrow we will go see Wes for the 9pm visiting.  It's hard going that late but from 6-9 there is no visitors.  Until then, not much to report!
