[Bjarki Freyr seems to be holding steady in the NICU. When I showed up this morning he was spread out, taking a sunbath in his incubator (with sunglasses and all). This is to treat a little jaundice that he has. The nurse came in later in the day and said he had been stable allRead more
[Day one in the life of Bjarki Freyr (Bee-yark-y) is almost complete and everything looks good. He has been doing well, responds well to treatment and looks stable. They reduced the ventilator strokes per minute from 60 to 44 and Bjarki responded by supplementing with his own breathing which was a good sign. We’ve goneRead more
[Two baby boys born just after midnight tonight, one 880 gr. and the other 1020 gr. They just made 26 weeks today and the doctors tell us they are pretty typical for 26 weeks preemies. Now we just need to cross our fingers for the next ten days or so, which is the most riskyRead more
[Hi all. Everything holding steady for now. Hrefna has an IV again (doctors wanted to give her more fluids) so she cannot type so much. Regardless, she was in a good mood when Anna and I showed up after we ate dinner with Ada’s family and said goodbye’s (they are leaving tomorrow) 🙁] Hæ hó.Read more
[I’ve moved again! They just moved me into a private room (the previous occupant delivered this morning and I was next on the list), and now my phone number ends in 50. Fairly quiet day, they let me be most of the morning so I got some sleeping done, and Finnur visited around noon-time. HadRead more
[Enjoyed my view of the skyline today. Took a while to “wake up” as the traffic in my room between 6 and 10 am is mindboggling and since I got up every 2 hours last night to pee, I was again low on sleep. Had a 24 hour long drought from yesterday until today, butRead more
[Anna and I are sitting here with Hrefna in her new bed by the window. She is still in the same room, but her roommate left for a private room and she opted to move to the bed by the window. Her new phone number is the same as the old one, except that itRead more
[Difficult night for Hrefna; contractions and some bleeding last night so the doctors kept testing and monitoring and poking and prodding in the weird hours of the night resulting in lack of sleep so Hrefna didn’t feel like having visitors. I went to see her after lunch and she looked very tired but sounded betterRead more
[Quiet day. Officially 25 weeks gone. No visitors until Anna and Finnur came around 7:30pm. Put up some pictures online. No real leakage today, still waiting for the days accumulation to make its way out into the world.] Rólegur dagur með afbrigðum. Nóttin var ein af þessum “vakna á 2ja tíma fresti” nóttum. Fórum ekkiRead more
[Quiet day on the leaky front, probably because I’m full of gas, which is blocking stuff! The day’s collection exited around dinner time and now it’s slowly filling up again I guess. The director of research stopped by to introduce a preemie study they’re doing, which we’re considering participating in. We’ll see. Now if IRead more
