Hari ke-48 di NICU Sayang, hari ini Mummy dan Daddy sampai di NICU sekitar pukul 2 petang. Inkubator kamu nampak sedikit berbeza kerana hanya inkubator kamu yang dialas dengan kain biru. Salah satu tangan kecil kamu juga dipasang dengan lembut di tepi lampin kerana kain yang biasa digunakan sudah habis. Mummy dan Daddy terus tersenyum apabila melihatnya. Hari ini, kulit kamu nampak sedikit lebih gelap daripada sebelumnya dan Mummy agak risau. Tetapi berbanding beberapa hari yang lalu, kamu nampak jauh lebih selesa. Kamu tidur dengan sangat lena sehingga kami tidak sanggup mengganggu kamu. Kami hanya berdiri di sebelah inkubator dan melihat kamu berehat. Apabila ada air liur di sekitar mulut kamu, Mummy akan mengelapnya perlahan-lahan. Daddy pula tidak berani kerana takut tangannya yang kasar akan menyakiti kulit kamu yang sangat halus. Daddy juga sangat risau tentang susu badan Mummy. Disebabkan jangkitan yang kamu alami, Daddy takut susu yang disimpan sebelum ini mungkin tercemar dan mahu membawa susu baru dengan segera. Jururawat memberitahu bahawa jika kamu boleh mula minum susu semula esok, kami boleh membawa susu baru pada waktu itu. Kamu sudah berpuasa selama lima hari. Berita baiknya, bengkak pada perut kamu sudah berkurangan, walaupun rawatan antibiotik untuk jangkitan bakteria masih diteruskan. Sayang, kami berharap esok kamu akhirnya boleh minum susu Mummy semula. Sedikit demi sedikit. Jangkitan berkurang, perut lebih selesa, pernafasan lebih stabil dan tubuh kecil kamu semakin kuat. Catatan hari ini: Berat: 1.340 kg Oksigen: 35% Susu: Hari ke-5 berpuasa Rawatan: Antibiotik diteruskan Day 48 in the NICU Baby, today Mummy and Daddy arrived at the NICU at around 2 p.m. Your incubator looked a little different because it was the only one lined with a blue cloth. One of your tiny hands was also gently secured beside your nappy because the usual cloth had run out. Mummy and Daddy couldn’t help smiling when we saw it. Today, your skin looked slightly darker than before, which worried Mummy a little. But compared with the past few days, you looked much more comfortable. You were sleeping so deeply that we didn’t want to disturb you. We simply stood beside your incubator and watched you rest. Whenever there was saliva around your mouth, Mummy gently wiped it away. Daddy didn’t dare to do it because he was afraid his rough hands might hurt your delicate skin. Daddy was also very worried about Mummy’s breast milk. Because of your recent infection, he was afraid the previous batch might have been contaminated and wanted to bring fresh milk immediately. The nurse reassured us that if your feeds restarted tomorrow, we could bring fresh milk then. You have now been fasting for five days. The good news is that the swelling in your tummy has reduced, although you are still receiving antibiotics for the bacterial infection. Baby, we hope tomorrow you can finally drink Mummy’s milk again. One little improvement at a time. Less infection, a more comfortable tummy, steadier breathing, and slowly growing stronger. Today’s record: Weight: 1.340 kg Oxygen: 35% Milk: Fasting Day 5 Treatment: Antibiotics continuing #nicubaby #prematurebaby #preemiewarrior #perjuanganhidup - @xiaoxing23prematurediary
