On Friday, Caleb experienced one of his firsts. His nurse thought that since Caleb was getting old enough to get bored, she'd decided to take him out for a walk. The nurse first borrowed a wagon from the pedi ward and obtained a saturation monitor. Soon, Caleb was riding on his wagon on his way out to Dell's Healing Courtyard on the 2nd Floor.
Since Caleb's birth, he's always been at the NICU, either St. David's or Dell's. He only got to experience life outside of the NICU twice. First was his transport where he was in an isolette and finally Friday's excursion to the 2nd floor.
I was so excited. Poor Caleb didn't even have a shirt on because we wanted to get him out. We wrapped him up in a blanket and headed out. I think he was out of his comfort zone because the expression he had on his face was that of confusion. Regardless, Caleb breathed his first non-hospital/NICU air. He tolerated it very well.
