Day 3

It has been a good day. Everyone had a good time visiting Mom in the hospital.

Kingston liked the view out the 8th Floor window.


Chloe liked the balloons people sent Kristen.


And we all enjoyed the good news from Siena. Check out these numbers! Her breathing has steadied to 30-40 breaths-per-minute from the 60+ rate yesterday. She is up to 5cc of breast milk every 4 hours. And her oxygen is consistently around 100%.


She had the IV line removed from her umbilical chord this morning, and the plan is for the breathing tube to come out on Monday morning. What a difference 24 hours can make.


But best of all was that Kristen has been up and about, so Siena was able to meet her mom. It may just be me, but it seems that Siena stays calmer and more relaxed when Kristen comes to visit. Babies and their mothers . . . what is a dad supposed to do?

  2. I'm so glad that Siena is now able to be around her mommy, and that's great news about her numbers. Thanks for the picture of the electronics. Big hugs to all FIVE of you (though the hugs for Kristen and Siena would be big, gentle ones, of course). We love you.
