Expressing our Gratitude!

Day 45

What a big surprise!
The nurses here at Pediatrics ICU in St. Joesph's Hospital surprised us for all the baby stuff. Nurse Dana and nurse Nicole came to our room with all those baggy with full of baby stuff. I was really surprised. I didn't expect that they would spend their time and money to buy stuff for my baby, but they did. I almost cry when I saw them walking in our room with all those baby stuff.
To all the nurses here at PCTICU thank you very much for your baby gifts. My husband and I are very much appreciated your thoughtfulness and kindness. Those cloths and other stuff are beautiful and I like it very much. Again, thanks a lot!

I moved GJ in my portable bed and he seems to like it. It is more comfortable than his on mattress in his crib.

Daddy and GJ.

This bumbo chair was given to me by nurse Dana. I never had this kind of chair for GJ before. She also gave me tons of newborn clothes. I would say that KC will be well dressed for her first 6 months in her life.

More baby garments for all the nurses in this floor (PCTICU)
Thank you so very much!

Day 45: Playful Mood

Day 45

We were suppose to go home today as what the nurses told me earlier. However, GJ was kept vomiting yesterday and even this morning, so they hold us again. The nurses and other medical professional here at St. Joe's were trying hard to get our stuff done in the timely manner, and they are making sure that once we go home we won't have file of bills. Gerald needs an oxygen at home plus he has a lot of medications. I was afraid that once we go home the insurance will not covered all of those medications and we will ended up paying it. Right now money is kinda tight in my family. Anyway, the social workers here and the nurses are helping us for all of Gerald's needs. Thanks a lot for their help.

This is the picture of Gerald and Ginger (RT). She was giving him a breathing treatment. Gerald's upper throat has a lot of think mucus, so the doctor ordered a breathing treatment every four hours. He hated it, as you can see his legs were on her arm. It was pretty fun the first time because he cornered her with his fours.

Anyway, here is the video of nurse Vicky and Gerald. Gerald had a morning emesis yesterday, so I had to put him in the wagon so that I can change his beddings. Nurse Vicky was GJ's nurse since he was born and just yesterday we finally got to have her working with Gerald. When nurse Vicky did her morning assessment, Gerald helped her out by putting the stethoscope on his right (chest) lung so that she can hear his lung. Nurse Vicky was very happy to see him smile and playful.
Thanks a lot Ms. Vicky!

Also, later yesterday afternoon Gerald's uncle came by and played with him with his favorite cow. Gerald was smiling and tossing cow on the floor. His uncle Glenn will pick it up and give it back to him and he will do the same thing. It was nice of uncle Glenn to come by even though he was very busy at home. Thanks to uncle Glenn for coming and spending time with GJ.
