Let's try this whole video thing!



So besides pictures, we're going to try to post video of Jack Henry. So this post is the first using the rudimentary camera phone, thus the poor quality. The lights were turned down in his NICU pod with a blanket partially covering the top of his isolet so he could sleep, ergo the video may be extra grainy and dark with the exception of the one video where I turned on the light.

He didn't dig the light too much, of course!





As you can see, the nurses have him laying on his belly right now. They do a great job in moving him in his bed so as to rotate how he sleeps as well as to minimize "toaster head" (a medical term - ha!). I asked if this is front-loading toaster variety or 4 slot jumbo bagel capacity one, but I didn't really get an answer. :)

Every 3-4 hours, he is repositioned after his vitals are checked (i.e. diaper change, blood pressure check and temperature reading, etc). He seems to be a big fan of sleeping on his belly as this also helps with keeping his respirations at a good level as well as in receiving consistent amounts of oxygen.





Wow! So many things to think about for such a little dude!

Hopefully, tomorrow, we will have the regular video camera for a better view.
