Today mum and Jasmine came to me. Dad was in office. I was not feeling as good. My sats were going up and down. Sats were not satisfactory last night as well. Something was not right in blood test which prompted nursing staff to transfer me back to hot room. Mom was informed about that. She got concerned. She was with me when I got transferred.
In the hot room they did a chest X-Ray of me. Something was wrong in that. There was a shadow which was not there before. I was put on medication for a suspected infection. Mom phoned daddy about that. He must have got concerned as well as he was besides me in couple of hours. As he came he was shown two X-Rays one from past and one from today. He was told that shadow in the lungs might be my feed that have gone there due to some reflex or it may be an infection. In either case there is risk of infection so I was put on anti-biotics.
Now my parents understood what ups and downs meant. They were told at my birth that I will go through ups and downs throughout my stay at neonatal. After last few days of ups here's the down again. But now they seem to better mentally prepared than last time when they were almost in tears.
More ever now they have examples of Harriet and Oscar my friends whose parents from time to time talk to them on what to expect.
