9th floor

Bridger is out of the CICU! We moved up to the cardiac floor this afternoon. Bridger was very fussy throughout the day and I couldn't quite figure out what was wrong (oxycodone didn't help) but he took a great nap in the late afternoon and woke up happy as a clam. I think that he must have been overtired from the constant interruptions of the ICU. He is starting to eat better and seems much more content. His EKG has improved and he definitely seems to be feeling better. His nurse tonight commented on what a trooper he is... he said that many babies need supplemental tube feeding after heart surgery. He truly is a trooper, we are so proud of him. He is off all IV medications and is on just a tiny bit of oxygen.
I spent the night with Keller and Becket last night and got a full 8 hours of sleep- that hasn't happened since Bridger was born. I forgot what "rested" feels like! Rock slept with Bridger and slept in 1 hr increments.... hoping for a better night tonight!
