Last night was Eli's first night on the floor. I called this morning to see how things went and I got the nurse who was very vocal about telling me how they had to adjust Eli's mask 20+ times last night. She said the Respiratory Therapist was complaining to the supervisors and anyone he could get his hands on. What did they expect? Maybe they'll actually have to do some work for a few days while Eli is on their service.
This morning I spoke with Patricia and she told me today that Eli has two teeth that have broken through. She also told me that we could get Eli circumcised today if we wanted. Once of the urologists was available to do the procedure. They could do the plastibell procedure in one of the procedure rooms this afternoon. Grrrr! Remember last week when they told us they couldn't do the circumcision in a procedure room and they were trying to schedule an operating room? This is just one more instance where we found the hospital is working against us. Without wasting any more time we agree to have Eli circumcised today. If we don't get it done today I'm sure we'll have to wait another week to get the procedure done.
The circumcision goes well and Eli is basically out of action for the rest of the night. We'll see if tonight is any better in terms of managing his BiPAP mask.
