Coburn Kids

Caden continues to have some A&B’s so they have increased his flow back up to 4. He was a bit warm last night, around 100.1 degrees but his primary nurse, Jeannette, feels that this might be because he’s outgrowing his isolette. He weighed in at 1820 grams (4 lb.) and when they hit over 1800 they like to try to move them to an open crib. We are hoping that comes soon as then we can dress him! Call it a mommy thing but I can’t wait until we can buy him some little clothes, hats, and socks for him to wear.

This one is always fun, the total for Caden in the NICU for the month of August only (we haven’t received September’s bills yet):

Mine came to about $33k total. Not as much as I thought for 9 days in the hospital with an emergency c-section. They tell you to figure on a preemie staying in the hospital until their due date, which I think will happen, so another 5 weeks. Genevieve we were able to actually bring home about 5 weeks before her due date. Caden is going to have feeding issues and he still needs to get his A&B’s under control so I think end of October at least until he’ll be home with us. His original due date was October 28th, so maybe before Halloween. And yes, I fully and most insistently will be dressing him up in a costume. Even if we have to make the costume ourselves because I doubt we’ll find something small enough for him.
