Kangaroo Care With Daddy



Stu and I went to the hospital last night. When we got there Lynn, Brandon's nurse, was finishing his care so we didn't get to help. Stu did kangaroo care with Brandon last night. To do kangaroo care you wear a button down shirt. Brandon gets tucked into the shirt like a baby kangaroo would be tucked into it's mother's pouch. Brandon's oxygen level was great when he did the kangaroo care with Stu. He really enjoys doing kangaroo care.

I called Lynn this morning to see how Brandon was. He was still on CPAP and the amount of oxygen he was receiving was down to 32%. She said he was good last night. The only time his oxygen levels went down and he had a desat were when she did his cares. Hopefully he will eventually get over that. She said he was tolerating 5 cc's of milk fine.
