Sammy B is edging his way out of the N(eonatal)ICU! Today he relinquished his anchor tenant position in the intensive care section by making the very bold move to the high care area of NICU. He’s quite chuffed with his new glass house which most of us would call an incubator – up to now he has been nursed in an open incubator because of all the tubes and ventilation equipment. He’s down to one line in his left arm for his kickers and lung mootie! He’s still only requiring the nasal prongs. Yesterday he came off all of his antibiotics. The breastmilk is shunting in at 8.5ml per hour and nice little projectile poos are exiting at about the same rate. He was weighed today at 1265 grams (from 860 at birth).These are massive moves!
The pictures tell a better story really...

Thinking of you,
