Grayson's Cares

Every three hours Grayson gets fed & it is also a time for Erich & I to take part in his cares.

Unfortunately when we are back at work we only are at the hospital for 1 or 2 rounds of cares. His "cares" consist of a diaper change, cleaning his mouth with saline & a sponge stick, switching his pulse ox monitor, & taking his temperature. The nurse also listens to his heart & lungs and does her assessments, sometimes his blood glucose is drawn, he gets a bath every few nights, they weigh him at night, Sundays they measure his length & he may be held or have his position changed. We love getting to take part in this....we'll see if down the road we still love his diaper changes that much! This is really the only time we are supposed to disturb him and he is usually pretty alert, then it's back to lots of resting & growing without stimulation.
