So many things have happen over the last three weeks, Zane was moved down to the transitional nursery, this in itself is a tremendous move as this is the last step before he goes home.  This transition though it not without a lot of anxiety causing moments. The set up is different and the nurses have three patients as opposed to just two, this makes for time management a crucial part of the nursing care.  We also have to get use to a new set of nurse practitioners and attending and they need to get use to us.

Over the last three weeks, Zane has had laser surgery for his eyes a second time and he is being looked at again to see if he needs a third round to prevent further damage to his retina of his eyes.  He has also been weaned on his lasix but still needs a small dose to keep fluid out of his lungs.  If they would leave his lasix dose along he would stay off his oxygen but as soon as he is weaned on goes the nasal cannula.  This is one of the items we will discuss at the next family conference.

He now takes most of his bottles except when his feeding time has been missed and his "alert" period is already done.  He certainly does have a little personality and will laugh and interact with you and he still has his temper!
