Zoey's getting bored

So the past few days, the nurses are starting to think that Zoey's getting bored as she's moving all around and crying more, yet is consolable when held.  And after her little wiggle butt decided to try and scoot out of the bassinet, they've moved her back into a crib with taller sides so she cannot escape.  They also have surrounded her with things to look at to help with the boredom and provide some mental stimulation.  She wonders why they put another baby in her crib but I've tried explaining it's her reflection in a mirror.  I don't think she's buying that explanation yet.


Zoey has been fighting 2 different infections at her incision site from her most recent surgery.  They luckily caught it early and have her on 2 antibiotics.  It is no longer oozing and is less red after about 4 days of the antibiotics.


She also had 5 days of steady declines in her weight but gained a decent amount last night so we think her body is adjusting to the way her body is getting her fluid intake and they added the prolacta back into the milk as well to help her.

The debate has started again as to whether we should have her transferred back to Eau Claire or not, but with this new infection issue, we're staying put.  Once she kicks this infection, we can start working on switching her feedings to every 2 and then 3 hours so that will get us closer to going home at which point a transfer wouldn't be needed.
