[Saw a pulmonology doctor today. He wants to see Bjarki in a month, and if he’s gotten big and strong enough then, he might do a test to see if he’s ready to come off the oxygen.] Fórum í dag til lungnalæknis og hann hlustaði á Bjarka í bak og fyrir með sérstakri tvöfaldri hlustunarpípu.Read more
[The first day in a three week paternity leave stared for me today and was extremely lazy-like (apart from three loads of laundry that Anna and I did together this morning). Anna then had swimming lessons, Todd and Tori stopped by for a visit and Anna and I took a nap in the afternoon, andRead more
[Bjarki is 14 weeks old today, and this (or tomorrow?) should have been his birthday! Instead, he got a torturous morning… First up: After a whole lot of screaming, the eye doctor prononuced Bjarki ROP-free this morning, which is fantastic news! He’s not entirely out of the eye-woods yet, but if all goes well, he’llRead more
Bjarki er búinn að vera heim í rúma tvo sólarhringa núna og við erum svona að læra á drenginn og hann á okkur. Helst er brjóstagjöf að flækjast fyrir mér og þá á ég við brjóstagjöf vs. pelagjöf vs. pumpun. Við fórum með hann til barnalæknis strax í gær til að kynna hann og okkur.Read more
[Great relief! Bjarki is finally home from the hospital after 3 months and 3 days. We got the news early morning that he was in fact being graduated today so we showed up at 10am. They had warned us a week ago that he might be coming home today, but I was taking that withRead more
[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
[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
[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
[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
