Sept. 21 1st day Kangarooing



Today we had Kerri for a nurse and she asked if I wanted to Kangaroo with Dylan. This is skin to skin care. This would be my first opportunity to hold him! The nurse got me positioned on a cart and she made sure everything was set up before moving Dylan. She got my bed positioned to the right height and moved the IV cart within reach. They were also swapping his bed out while he was on me so they made sure the new bed was ready to be brought in. So it came time to move Dylan onto my chest, it went without a hitch!! All was great and 3 1/2 hours later it was time to move Dylan back. His new bed was ready and the transport process went great. Dylan at one point was at 100% oxygen and only needing 26% support. This was remarkable. He loved his mommy holding him!
