Andað ótt og títt

[Nothing new to report regarding Bjarki really. I went to see him this evening and he was awake, and looked annoyed with the big tube going into his mouth and down his throat. He’s still on the nasal cannula, but breathing quite rapidly. They might still put him on the ventilator if he gets tooRead more

“Cannula”

2007-07-28Uncategorized Standard

[Bjarki’s tummy/intestines starting having trouble last night. The nurse detected some blood in his stool and so they took an x-ray of his tummy. They found it to be a little enlarged so milk feeds were stopped as of midnight. The nurse also found a lot of air in his tummy, probably due to theRead more

[For English version of this blog read the translation above; it is mostly a recap of this with more details – except for the Google picnic that we attended; a summer festival in Shoreline Amphitheatre with free food and drinks, music, clowns, animals and circus equipment. We strolled around and had fun.] Er að faraRead more

Jæja, þá byrjar ballið…

[Got a call this morning from the NICU that some labwork that they’d sent in this morning had come back indicating that Bjarki’s starting to fight an infection. Apparently he had a rough night, with lots of apnea spells which can be an infection indicator. I’m told he still looks good though, but just asRead more

Næstum fjögurra vikna

2007-07-25Uncategorized Standard

[A day short of being 4 weeks old (or 30 weeks old or minus 10 weeks). The CPAP (air-blow into his nose) setting was reduced from “6” to “5” this morning, so he’s getting less help breathing than before. So far he seems to be tolerating it ok. When I arrived around lunchtime, the doctorRead more

Anna eldri farin til Íslands

2007-07-24Uncategorized Standard

[Anna Sr. returned to Iceland this morning and now I’ll have to start emptying my own dishwasher again. No fun! It was lovely having her here although I felt a little bit guilty that we didn’t show her more of the area. But hopefully she’ll be back later for the full tourist-treatment. Bjarki’s doing prettyRead more

Búin með Harry Potter

2007-07-23Uncategorized Standard

[Just finished Harry Potter at 5am this morning. Now I can go back to reading news online and generally browse around. Nothing new on other fronts, no news is still good news.] Jæja, þá er klukkan rúmlega fimm að morgni til aðfararnótt mánudags. Ég var að klára Harry Potter (keypti bókina á laugardaginn) og núRead more

[Finnur held Bjarki for the first time today, and then he and the two Annas went up to the city to play tourists and meet a friend of Anna Sr. I on the other hand went clothes shopping for a bit with Sarah, and also picked up the new Harry Potter. I got to pageRead more

Allt við það sama

2007-07-20Uncategorized Standard

[Same old, same old here. They reduced the pressure on Bjarki’s nose thing and he seemed to tolerate that pretty well. Anna senior went shopping, she’s leaving on Tuesday, we can’t believe it’s almost been three weeks!] Ekkert að frétta héðan svo sem. Læknarnir minnkuðu reyndar þrýstinginn á nefloftinu hans Bjarka og hann virtist höndlaRead more
