Little man is looking good!!!! A "pink" baby is a healthy baby!!!!! Always remembered that from one of my old docs that taught me so much while in my paramedic classes. Old Dr. Charlie Prejean sure is missed and as for as a "teaching" doctor, he ran circles around everyone. I called him from the hospital in Deridder, LA one morning when I was picking up a premie and told him what I was looking at, what the attending had done and what I thought needed to be done. His response, "Foti, quit wasting my time, do what you think needs to be done and get that baby pink". - "Then haul your a** hear"!
Take this time to start reading on infant CPR, they won't let you leave w/ him till you know it, and start stocking up on batteries, he will probably be on a apnea monitor at home just as a precaution. Once he gets home he will grow like a weed and be able to rest well. He is looking great!!!!! Call me anytime if you have any questions or don't understand what is being said to you and I will try to help out in anyway possible.
