This weekend has been fairly quiet at Children's, except for Maddie (nothing new). Camden has been a little fussy at times, and feels better after a burp or position change, but don't we all? Camden is also really enjoying his two bottles of formula a day, and hoping for more! His tube feedings are up to 17ml/hr continuously. But over all a pretty low keyed weekend.
But we did something new today. After we cycled Camden off his TPN, We all went for a walk in the Prouty Gardens, Outside! Camden's tube feeding pump fit in the stroller pocket and we bundled him up to go!! It was in the forties outside, but it felt warmer. He looked at everything! We then walked around the hospital's first floor and Maddie found the stage in the entertainment area. She hammed it up, dancing and singing!! It was a great feeling to get out of his room, but even better to get him outside in fresh air (even if it was city air!!). Then like a good boy, he fell sleep in the stroller on the way back up his room! I think he napped in the stroller for a good hour or so.
We also had a little stroke of good fortune today too. One of larger single rooms opened up and I mentioned it to the nurses. At first they said they were getting an admission into that room, but then they said "how fast can you pack him up?". In 15 minutes we had him packed and moved into a much larger room. It was nice not to be cramped into a small room, and have room for Maddie to play in the room too.
