Day 5 - Tense and Watchful

We stayed above the NICU again last night, we've been calling the Ronald McDonald daily but so far no openings, but I'm personally glad because I want to be right here in case anything happens. As I'm sure many NICU moms can tell you, even across the street is too far early on, and we had been told that the first 48-72 hours after surgery were critical.

On the other hand though, there really wasn't much to do today, no one wants to leave Jonah but on the other hand he doesn't really do anything. He is still on Fentynl so he's completely still and asleep and we've been told not to touch him too much as its better for him to rest.

He did get to go off the oscillating ventilator today, which was a nice step, but like I said, it stuck around the room for several more days, just in case.
