[Bjarki’s doing better, he’s definitely in a lot less pain and is now feeding normally. Unfortunately the intermediate nursery is full so he’s stuck in the NICU, which is almost full, and therefore very busy and noisy. Maybe he’ll move downstairs tomorrow. In the meantime they’ve ordered oxygen tanks for him to take home, andRead more

Aðgerðarkvöld

2007-09-27Uncategorized Standard

[The operation today went fine, but Bjarki was in quite a bit of pain into the evening. He’d calm down, and then scream in pain if he was moved at all and his heart rate would shoot up to 230, in spite of his pain medication. Not fun, but hopefully he’ll get better soon. IRead more

2007-09-27Uncategorized Standard

[The operation is over and was concidered a success. Bjarki is back in the NICU for tonight but will probably go down again to the Intermediate ICU tomorrow morning. He was taken off the ventilator that he was using during the operation and did extremely well after the operation – so well that they saidRead more

[Hrefna called earlier to say that the operation had been pushed back an hour or two, and possibly wouldn’t happen until tomorrow. More later.] Hrefna hringdi áðan til að segja að aðgerðinni hefði verið frestað um 1-2 tíma, og yrði mögulega frestað þangað til á morgun. Meira síðar. [Update: Hrefna called again and said thatRead more

Aðgerð á morgun

[Calm day. Nothing new except that Bjarki’s hernia operation is scheduled for 3pm tomorrow, Thursday. Ended the day by celebrating Ana’s graduation at a Mexican restaurant.] Rólegur dagur. Ekkert að frétta nema að kviðslitsaðgerðin á víst að vera klukkan 15 á morgun, fimmtudag. Um kvöldið fórum við á mexíkanskan veitingastað til að halda upp áRead more

[Today was a good day. Possibly too good. Probably the calm before the hernia-operation-storm if anything. The main events were as follows: a) Bjarki was wide awake for lunch and set a new record. Ate 74 mL in an hour straight from the cow. b) The eye-doctor pronounced his eyes “improved”. Both eyes now haveRead more

[(Update 9/24: Just fixed a couple of spelling errors]Uppfærsla 24. sept: Lagaði stafsetningarvillur. [The events of today were as follows: Finnur disassembled Anna’s “little” bed in our bedroom and we replaced it with her old crib. Anna wanted to know why he wouldn’t be in her room, and we told her he’d wake her upRead more

Bííb, bííb…

[Bjarki passed his hearing test today, yay! 🙂 It still looks like they’ll send him home (on oxygen) in about 2 weeks, but first he has to learn to eat better. This week they found he’s developed an “inguinal hernia“, which needs to be fixed, so he’ll probably have surgery sometime next week and spendRead more

[Bjarki is now 12 week old, or 38 weeks, or -2 week old (depending on how you look at it). He measured just under 3.4 kg tonight and 49.5 cm. Anna was born about two weeks early and was then 3.2 kg and 49.5 cm so Bjarki seems to be doing well in that respect!Read more
