Not So Fast There, Preemie-Boy

Day 56, 1200 grams.

Pozdrav svima,danas cu pricati Hrvatski jer je moja baka bila u posjeti. Moja baka mene puno voli,a i ja nju jer ona dodje skoro svaki dan i prica mi price. Ona prica ,a ja se smijem.
Danas sam imao jako dobar dan. Udebljao sam se 30 grama pa me mama vec zove mali debeljuco. Mama me je danas iznijela iz inkubatora vrlo lako,jer nisam imao nikakve tube, i onda me je prvi put izljubila svuda po tijelu. Od svog tog uzbudjenja malko sam se umorio pa su mi na kraju dana morali vratiti tubu u nos, ali im ne zamjerim. Moram malo vise narasti i udebljati da bi mogao disati bez problema i da se ne umorim. Za sada toliko,voli vas Andrej.

Bet you didn't know that I can speak Croatian, too! I had a nice visit from my Baka today, so I thought I'd leave her and her friends a special message. So allow me to loosely translate:

Overall it was a good day. However, I was feeling a little uncomfortable and irritable at night. Around 11:30pm I started having trouble breathing and so nurse Jocelyn made a call to the doctor and it was decided that I should go back on the CPAP. This isn't a big deal, so I hope no one gets upset. It's pretty unusual for a little guy like me to go from CPAP to the nasal cannula so quickly. We tried it out, I lasted for 36 hours, and he had to go back. It happens.

Or maybe everything is not as it seems...

Maybe this was a conspiracy designed to get me back on the CPAP because my cheeks were causing a fall in productivity among the nurses. I mean, all the nurses were constantly coming around to my incubator to see me and adorable cheeks, so I imagine not a lot was getting done. So I wouldn't be surprised if I was sabotaged by "The Man" in an effort to restore order. If that's the case, they just may find a preemie revolution on their hands. Every baby, no matter how small, has the inalienable right to be cute!

Viva la revolucion!
