update

Anders seemed like he was improving on yesterday's progress. Then, out of nowhere, they reintibated him. It was a surprise to me. He seemed like he was doing well. I guess he had too much carbon dioxide in his gases.
They the back up lactation lady got all weepy with me. She thought I was taking her to task. I just wanted to the run around to stop. I think I give looks that make people think I'm angry with them when I'm not.
We were at the hospital for 7 hours today. That was too much time. I can't go back tonight for the evening shift. Also, I probably shouldn't drive after the 3 Grain Belts. The infant massage lady was totally in favor of self-medicating with alcohol. Of course she has the credibility of Torii.
We are going to try to do everything in the morning tomorrow in only one visit.
Even when we tried to feel sorry for ourselves about the reintibation as we waited for the lactation lady in the family lounge, the other family in there was waiting out a surgery for one of their twins. We overheard the phrase, "We think he'll make it."
Anders is much better off than those babies, but not ready the incubation country club of Southdale. He's on much more stable ground than last week, but he has a long way to go before fleeing to the suburbs.
