Day 16 - Upper GI Study

3 lbs 2.3 oz - making good progress
Great reassuring stats on Milo this morning


Today Milo was great. The nurses say he hasn't had pain medication since yesterday morning and hasn't been showing pain signals anymore. Shelly held him again skin to skin (without the CPAP) and he took the transfer to her like a pro. Normally, he'll cry during the lift and pass off but today he didn't even whine and snuggled right in. After about an hour and a half he got fussy though and started to try to climb up Shelly. It looked a lot like he was lifting himself off his tummy so we put him back in his bed because it seemed like his stomach drains were hurting him. He calmed down when he returned to his bed and headed off for his upper GI study. They had to keep monitoring him after they introduced the contrast to see it progress all the way through his system so they weren't able to give us a definitive result today but everything they had seen so far looked good.

Happy and sleepy from all the oxytocin


While Milo was doing his GI study, we headed to the salon so Shelly could get her hair cut. She was going to get a balayage (natural looking highlights) but the hair dresser was really good and was able to tell us that it wouldn't work very well with her hair thickness, so we just went for the cut.

Perfect haircut!

Llupus and Matt drove into Portland for a rock climbing tournament bringing us games, food and company. We had a great evening of games and dinner with them.

New games to keep us entertained
