Bobby had a pretty good night. His saturations went back up into the mid 70s to low 80s. So, the dip yesterday wasn't a harbinger of bad things to come. It did, however, guarantee that we're going home on oxygen. But we're going home...tomorrow they say.
On Bobby's first day in the ICU, they gave us a sheet that is taped to his bed during his stay. It asks for his name, his weight, and his likes and dislikes. We didn't have a lot to say...he likes You Are my Sunshine; he doesn't like things being put into his mouth.
A month later, we have a revised list.
Bobby likes:
Going home on time
Cannulas
Spraying on his nurses
Pooping all over the sheets
Eating without throwing up
Raspberrying and making dinosaur noises
Music Therapy
Being held
Being held
Being held
Going home on time
Bobby dislikes:
People that disrespect the 'hawk
CPAP machines
CPAP head gear stretched over ears that are newly tubed
CPAP machines
Sedatives that aren't serious
Being mocked
Teething the week after open heart surgery
Severe diaper rash the week after open heart surgery
Multiple intubations/extubations
Nurses who tell mama she doesn't know how to read the monitor
Doctors who tell mama she didn't try hard enough to get him a hearing test
Mamas hanging out in the room all night and ruining his nurse sugar time
Music cds that aren't "Country Western Lullabys"
People that disrespect the 'hawk

Great lists! Bobby sounds like a man who knows his own mind about things. And by the way, all babies definitely do not have mohawks. Abby and Harry were hawk-less as infants :)
