Another Great Day for Luca!

Hi guys....thanks to everyone that is following this blog and taking the time to read all my feelings and emotions.... It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions on a daily basis but more on the high end now... We worry about everything, every beep by his bed, every change in temperature, every breath that he takes differently, etc etc...all normal but we just don't know so we worry and ask the nurses...they are probably about to kill us but we don't care, we ask...ehehhe.... I am sure we are not the only parents like that.... so by the end of the day we are so physically and emotionally exausted that we only actually realize it when we arrive to the hotel...

Pretty much overall today was another great day for Luca... they took his chest tube out and a couple other smaller tubes that were still attached to his hand and neck... so little by little he is getting back to normal. They are giving him some Tylenol for pain w/Codine I think, and that also still keeps him a bit groggy... so he still sleeps a lot...but he woke up quite a few times and I gave him some baby formula throughout the day. He sat up in the bed for a few minutes already and the nurse also allowed me to hold him on my lap today...it was a great feeling but at the same time very scary for me since I felt like I was holding him for the first time ever.... Very delicate and I was so afraid I was going to hurt him.... but he did just fine....

They kept him at the ICU again today simply because the regular floor was full.... it was actually better because at the ICU they have one nurse just for him and at the 6th floor he has to share a nurse with 3 other kids.... so probably tomorrow we'll have to go there.... but hopefully it's still full so we can stay another night where we are...

Anyways, very short post today because I am feeling VERY tired already and I am ready to hit the bed and sleeeeeeeeeeeep for a few hrs in a row....my eyes are closing while typing.... Kisses and love to all...

VERSAO BRASILEIRA -- Hoje foi um outro dia otimo pro Lulu... ja' tiraram o tubo de drenagem q ainda estava no peito... e outros tubinhos q ainda estavam em uma mao e no pescoco... ainda ficou o dia todo e vai ficar hoje a noite na UTI so' porq os quartos normais estavam cheios... Mas e' ate' melhor porq na UTI ele tem uma enfermeira so' pra ele e no quarto ele tera' q dividir uma enfermeira com outras 3 criancas... Ele ja' esta' voltando ao seu normal bem rapido... Ainda esta' meio chapadinho pois dao um remedio pra dor ainda meio forte (nao mais a morfina) e ele dorme ainda bastante mas tb ja' ficou acordado um bom tempo, pude dar leite e pega-lo no colo tb hoje... foi bem legal mas fiquei com um pouco de medo de machuca-lo... mas foi otimo! Hoje o blog foi curto pois estou SUPER HIPER cansada e quero ir pra cama logo... a gente fica num corre corre o dia todo la' q qdo chegamos no hotel de noite a gente ve o qto estamos acabados fisicamente e emocionalmente... mas hoje vou dormir bem, ja' q Lulu ainda tem uma enfermeira so' pra ele a noite toda e ele esta' tao bem vou ficar mais tranquila pra dormir umas belas horas seguidas..heheh.... Obrigada por seguirem este blog... Um beijo grandao pra todos!!
