The camera lady finally came by and took my mug shot. I'm not sure if my parents will open their pig-skinned prisons and pay for any pictures, but it was sure fun! Next stop feeding!
Last night was great. My worthless parents actually stopped by at 11PM and feed me. They've been feeding me a lot, so I had about 45 ml and fell asleep. They slept in, but stopped by at 8AM. They're going to be in for some good times (great oldies) once we get home.
The doctors are taking me in for my circumcision today. I'm not sure what that is, but it doesn't sound fun.
At 8 am they fed me another 47ml. I was wide awake when they got here, but I got really sleepy after that meal.
I'm off the IV and had that awful IV needle taken out. Now we are just waiting for the cultures to comeback before they will send me home. That should come in around 8pm. So I should be chilling in my crib around 8pm tonight!
Today I had my first feeding at about 11AM, since my breaths went down to 66 or so breaths-per-minute (instead of the 100+ breaths I started with). I am feeling a little better now, the doctors still want to keep me in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) until I am consistently around 60 breaths-per-minute. My next feeding is around 2pm.
I just had my 2pm feeding. It was tasty. I'm breathing just fine now. They say I might be able to bust out of here Monday around 5ish. They just want to monitor me and get me all my antibiotics. My next feeding is around 5pm. Mom and Dad are happy, they can't stand the Hospital food.
Pastor, Lori, Grandma Karius, Grandma Dobbs, and Grandpa Dobbs visited me today. They were boring so I just slept in. Pastor read Psalm 127 and Matthew 19:13-14 to my parents and gave a quick prayer.
Dad updated my picture page to include a nice slide show of my pictures. I think it's just great. He is so smart!
Adam Michael Dobbs! Today I was born! I am having some respiratory issues and won't be out of NICU until Monday. I'm not sure what the big deal is, I just like taking lots of short breaths. The doctors tell me not to worry, since it's probably just fluid in my lungs. They're giving me antibiotics just in case its an infection. Either way I should be home Monday! I'm looking forward to helping Dad with chores. Dad is looking forward to the tax deductions and credits.
I met Grandma Karius, Grandma Dobbs, Grandpa Dobbs, Uncle Bryan and Aunt Kristin. Uncle Bryan scared me. He's not a looker!
