Great news today! We moved to the 5th floor! Ben is still having some arrhythmia's. But since the 5th floor is a cardiac floor, they can handle that. They said as long as he's otherwise stable,(which he is) they would be fine with him on the 5th floor. The nurse told me, "if he was on the 5th floor and had these arrhythmia's up there, it's not something they'd send him to picu for." the only thing I was kind of sad about was, we never got to say goodbye to his favorite nurse M. We loved her! She said she will come visit him on 5 though. The other good thing is, he gets more visitors up there. He's allowed to have 2 parents and 2 other visitors. In picu he was allowed 3 visitors max. No matter who they were. Also, as soon as he is off isolation, hopefully tomorrow, the girls can come see him. So that will be nice for them to be able to be with all of us. And the play area is on 5 as well. Only like 200 feet away from his room. So, we can more easily go back and forth, especially since the girls can come too. He also took 2 and a half oz of breast milk in a bottle, 3 times today. He's doing great with his bottle feedings! Tomorrow, Joe and I have his meds training. One of the apn's and the transplant pharmacist are going to show us all his meds and the schedule for them, as well as any other things we need to know such as positioning. We obviously can't do tummy time for a while. And we need to hold him a certain way to burp him. And there's certain ways to pick him up. So we will go over all of that tomorrow. But, all in all it's been a really good day.
