Day 4 - 12/7/11

Day 4 and everything is “still going as expected”. You can never get a straight answer from the nurses… How are our kiddos doing? Response: They are behaving as expected… Are their ventilator settings too high? low? how should I interpret what you're telling me? Response: Can’t really say, every baby acts differently… Should we be feeling good about everything so far? Response: There has not been any setbacks so far, this is going to be a long road with lots of ups and downs… Are you wearing blue scrubs? Response: Well, everyone views colors differently. To some this may be blue and to others this may be azure or cyan, it all depends on how you see the color… very frustrating!!! I understand the doctors and nurses don't want to give you a false sense of hope, but come on… We listen to alarms, bells and whistles going off regularly on our babies montors. Please give us something, anything positive so we don't dwell on the negatives every night we go home without our babies.
