Day 1 Morning
Grant is “doing normal for his age”.
He’s had a couple of doses of Surfactin to help his lungs open up. They have him weaned from about 70%+/- oxygen down to the mid 30%+/-. (Air is of course around 20% for those that forgot their basic science classes).
He’s on some caffeine to help simulate being in mommy. Just kidding. He’s on some caffeine to help stimulate breathing.
He pee’d twice, but not measurable quantities. They need him to pee more so. He needs to show that all works. Plus he needs to not retain fluid too much.
A whole lot of this is super familiar. He has lots of differences though. Rather than brain damage, his brain isn’t developed enough to process certain stimuli. We just have to be careful and slow with him as he continues to develop and grow.
Weight as previously reported: 580 grams. Length 13 inches (because why not change unit system), Head size: 21 cm (because why not change again?)
Lots of time and challenges ahead. We hope things stay “normal” for his age”.
Mom is doing pretty well. Recovering from surgery. Not fun. Doing OK though. They say normal discharge for mom with the surgery/pre-e would be on the order of Friday or Saturday.
