2nd day in the NICU started out rough. One of the night nurses let me hold Ethan very briefly the night before and told me that I could come back in the morning and hold him again. I woke up very excited and anticipating cuddling my little man. That excitement quickly turned to lots of tears as I received a visit from one of the drs. Ethan's blood platelet levels had dropped and he needed a transfusion and also a spinal tap to rule out infection in his spinal fluid. I was crushed. Little did I know what an emotional roller coaster we'd be riding the next 10 days. This was just the beginning. After a successful transfusion and spinal tap, I was able to visit and check in on my baby. They even let me hold him late that night!!
