At this point in Cole's stay he was pretty worn out by the various procedures. And hey, cut him some slack - he's also pretty new to all of this, not to mention that he's still a few weeks ahead of his due date. Between the MRI, we've had almost a half-dozen CT scans, dozens of blood draws, a numerous IV installations. Cole's poor veins just don't tolerate the IVs and within a day to day and a half they go bad and we have to find a new place to put the line.
In fact, you can see in several of the pictures the IV placement move from left foot to right hand to left hand and right foot. It's sad when they have to try and find another spot on a foot or hand to insert the IV where one may have been a few days earlier. And Cole's not really keen on it either.
You can also see the NG tube in his nose. This tube goes from him nose down to his stomache. And whatevery he won't take by orally in the bottle gets to be delivered via the NG tube. He actually doesn't seem to mind the tube except when they have to hold it on his face to tape it down. We're hoping to make it home without the feeding tube and oxygen - but we'll take hime home with the whole hospital set up if it means he goes home a health baby boy.
