Minor Set back

So today we were heading out to the hospital, and the phone rings. It's the nurse from the NICU. She starts out the conversation - I don't want you to be alarmed when you come in... well, that sets off the warning bells in the head.

He's had a minor set back. They needed to allow him to relax a little so they put the nasal CPap back on him. You can tell he doesn't like it because he took it out at least 2 times while I was holding him tonight.

She also indicated that he has a slight eye infection. So he's been put into an isolated room, as apparantly it's contagious. I held him for a few minutes - and he was wide awake and looking all around. His eye definatly looked better - not as matted. We put him back down when he got the hiccups as we've been told that is one indication of being stressed. His hiccups almost got worse when we put him back in his bed - so I stood over him, and gently talked to him and he finally fell back asleep. I wrapped his giraffe in his arms and took this picture.
