Today while I was holding Pierson, the doctor announced to me and the nurses that he was going to be transferred back to the downtown St. Luke's hospital. The pediatric ENT needs him there to look down into his throat and make sure we know what is going on with his swallowing. The procedure needed to take place downtown, so about noon, Pierson left in an ambulance. I arrived downtown about 2 and held him until about 6. At Meridian, he didn't have windows and had a room to himself. Now he is right next to a window and has 2 other babies in the room. He really didn't sleep well while I was there. I am glad I was there to be something familiar for him for awhile.
Since his swallow study 2 weeks ago, he hasn't nursed or had bottles. We have been doing physical therapy and giving him time to mature more. Not much has happened for the last 2 weeks besides just giving him more time to see if that would work. Next week is his due date. We really won't know anything new until he is seen by the ENT doc. The Meridian nurses and doc were sad to see him leave. I would like to get him back there if the next soon step isn't home.
We're cheering for Pierson to get home really soon. I'm glad you were able to be there for him today. I'm sure that helped him a lot.
