Cooper is getting SO big! He now weighs 3 pounds and 9 ounces!! It seems like he is putting weight on so fast! Well, he is a Jones! LOL! You can see his double chin in the first picture! He is getting older and has times when he is awake. These are my favorite times! He will just look around and smile! I love talking to him during these minutes! He is so precious!
We were moved back to Baptist NICU on Monday. The doctors came in Monday morning and turned off the nitric and said they had an opening in the transport and could take him that day. It was fast! The second picture shows his transport bed! It is really cool. It has all the equipment of his room condensed for travel. His transport team was fabulous! They got him all packed up and we met them at Baptist. The trip from door to door was 7 minutes! We got there during shift change, so we had to go get dinner and come back before we could see anyone.
When we finally got back there, it was like a family reunion!! Everyone was so happy to see him!! They have just gushed over him for the last few days! We even got the same primaries back! No one could believe how much he has grown. It is nice to be back! We will miss Vanderbilt too! We met some FANTASTIC people there. I have never been so torn at a decision, but we felt like Baptist had a family atmosphere that we missed. (Vanderbilt was at a disadvantage! We forged relationships with Baptist for a month before getting moved for surgery.) Anyway! Cooper is loving all the extra attention!!
He did not love his ambulance ride. He did fine, but had to go up on his liters on the vapotherm. He was breathing hard after the ride, so they gave him some extra support. He will be weaned down in the next few days. We were expecting this as well. He was expected to have some setbacks after coming off the nitric. He is doing great! We are so proud of him and praise God for him daily!!
