Day 40: Sleepy Sunday

Not much to report since Viv spent most of the day like this:

Finally getting some quality time with dad after his week of exile.

She is still doing well without any respiratory support and had a few productive feeding sessions. The only change today was a morphine wean. The doctors will reduce the morphine daily if Viv tolerates it.

In other news, Dave and I are getting all of our discharge ducks in a row. We took the infant CPR class last week and watched a few required videos on safe sleep and shaken baby syndrome. We just have to take the feeding tube course since it's likely Viv will be discharged with one in place. The class will teach us all of the necessary steps for placing and maintaining the tube. Each of us will be required to successfully place Viv's tube before we can be discharged. The whole thing is kind of intimidating, but I'm sure we'll get the hang of it. The only other item on the to do list is finding a pediatrician back home. I already have a list of potential doctors and will be calling their offices this week. Everything is coming together!
