Not Ready

Matthew was not ready for the 5th floor and is back in the NICU. We felt that way from the beginning and I guess we were right. Very short story...we went to the 5th floor (after much emotion and persuasion) about 12:30am Sunday morning. While we were there, Matthew just wasn't himself. He was uncomfortable for some reason and was crying more than normal. Once on the correct type of O2/air mix (don't ask..), he continually dipped in percentage, sometimes as low as 64% and the nurses, doc, and respiratory therapist were not comfortable with this at all. By 6am, Matthew was back to the NICU, and is now back to his comfy/cozy self.

Again, this is the short story...and we are glad he is back in the NICU.

  1. I'm sorry but you know that he is safe and sound and that's the most important thing. What is the difference between the NICU and the other floor?

  2. One is intensive care, the other is a regular floor (with a roommate).
