No longer full of ...

Ahhhhh, the pooh envy can now end.

It's as if the Academy Awards came early... "and now the envelope for the recipient of Jack Henry's BM is: Nurse Ashley! Congratulations! This is Nurse Ashley third BM award and first-time as best supporting nurse."

Nurse Amy worked Jack Henry pretty well overnight to get the bowels to move and, in turn, Nurse Ashley got the full monty, er, diaper.

Well, no more on this (for now). I'm sure that Dr. Ursula is relieved to hear that we will be able to fixate on something else now. Ha!

At least we can say that Jack Henry is no longer full of it!

Poop envy?

Don't worry - no pictures for this posting. :)

The Mrs and me are interested in seeing little Mr. Jack Henry to move them bowels. After having a slow-go on rebuilding his feed levels (3 ccs per feeding on Monday and Tuesday; 6 ccs per feeding today) due to his being NPO from the indomethacin, we are interested to see that input turn into an output.

Short of waiting for his first meconium, we are really anxious to see the, um, outputs to catch up to the inputs.

Yes, that means we have poop envy of the other outputting kids in the pod.

No more blue light specials ;)

It appears that the bilirubin sessions may be over for now. Along with the use of the bilirubin light, another way for Jack Henry to rid his body of bilirubin is through his first poohs.

These first BMs are called meconium. You may not want to click the last link unless you care to see a picture of what I'm talking about (and want to never eat a gooey chocolate chip cookie again). Ha!

Thus, no pictures in the post, but more of an update of why you probably won't see anymore images where the blue light makes Jack Henry look like a smurf.
