Last night was an interesting

Last night was an interesting one in the NICU...things continue to be crowded and there were rumors of triplets on their way as nurses scrambled for extra beds and iv pumps. Little E was having a good day, more squirmy and awake than I had ever seen him. But then we took him out to hold him and feed him dinner. That went fine until he spit up. It wasn't much, and he seemed okay, so the nurse told us to just make sure we fed him slowly. We did, and he seemed happy when we put him back in his bed. Then, as we were saying our goodbyes, he spit up again and it went in his bed and up his nose. That set him off and he got really fussy (I would too, with puke up my nose). So the nurse had to change his bed and his canula, suction him, and get him all settled again. We stayed with him for another half an hour to try to calm him, but he was still a little upset when we left. We felt so bad because he looked so unhappy, and we couldn't do anything to make him feel better. I called at 11 pm though, just to make sure he was okay and settled, and the nurse said he had an excellent night, was breathing well and was very happy. So Mom and Dad could go to bed happy too.
