Where's the trust? Well at this point he's not got any. The poor little guys has been poked, prodded, cut, bugged (every hour), things shoved down this throat and up his nose one to many times. His trust is gone...... I'm guessing that is why he has taken to sleeping with his eyes open.
In a way it's kind of funny but I do feel bad for the little guy. After all he's been through in his short 3 weeks of life I would want to be left alone too.
Taevin continues to do well. His oxygen has been turned way down and should be off it by tomorrow. He is off all medicine and almost all his lines are out. His feeding have increased and they are now feeding him in 3 hour intervals. If he handles those well they will try bottle feeding him. As of right now the main focus is getting him to eat on his own (no feeding tube) and once he gets that down we might get to think about going home. They are still keeping an eye on his heart and so far the only problem is a small mummer. They told us that this may happen, and the reason for it is due to the way the hole in his heart was patched. The patch/hole is not a perfect circle and there may still be small gaps but over time his heart will grow it's own tissue over the patch covering those holes. He has an echo scheduled for Friday just to check thing out.
My Grandma came on Thursday to help out for a few weeks. She was so excited to finally get to meet Taevin. He is her 16th great grandchild. Thank you grandma for all your help! We love you and are so glad you are able to visit.
