A nurse came in after that to remove my drip & uretha tube. After they were removed, I waited eagerly for Kel to come so that we can visit mei mei together. Kel only came at about 3pm as he need to work & run some errands in the morning. When he arrived, I pestered him to bring me to visit mei mei. As I can't walk yet due to the pain, he went to borrow a wheelchair for me.
When we reached NICU, we had to wash our hands 1st before we can see mei mei. Kel then wheeled me to mei mei's cot. When I saw her with all the tubes in her small body, I started crying. She looks so small & vulnerable. Kel comforted me by saying that mei mei is okie. It's just that she needs to be monitored as she's too young. A nurse on duty also came to comfort me. She told us that mei mei is of a good birth weight. It's just that she can't breathe well when she's born. Thus, she's in NICU.
My 1st pic with mei mei. The nurse who comforted me held mei mei while Kel took this pic.
Another pic with mei mei
Mei mei 'smiling' for the camera
The nurse adjusting mei mei for more pics
Mei mei yawning
See how sweet mei mei looks. I know I am biased coz I am her mummy. But don't you agree with me? :p
Me looking at mei mei with love
Mei mei stretching herself
Mei mei scrunching up her face
Mei mei opening 1 eye to peek at us
She decided to close it as she saw nothing interesting
On 2nd thoughts, she decided to open her eyes again to confirm
The above 2 pics broke my heart whenever I see them.
After the picture taking, the nurse told me to go back & rest for a while. We can come back again at 4.30pm when it's mei mei's feeding time. We decided to heed her advice as I am feeling very tired already. Kel then wheeled me back to my ward to rest.
At about 4.15pm, Kel went back to NICU alone as Fun had came to visit me. I didn't want to leave her alone as she had came all the way to see me. We had a great time catching up.
When Kel came back, he told me that mei mei's tube had been removed. Another good news is that she managed to drink 10ml of milk without vomitting it out. At this rate, she can be discharged from NICU soon.
Kel with mei mei. Can see the mark below her mouth? It was caused by the plaster which was used to secure her tube.
Another pic of Kel with mei mei
At about 7.15pm, we went back to NICU again for mei mei's next feed. The nurse then carried mei mei out of her cot so that I can carry her.
Me carrying mei mei for the 1st time. It feels so different carrying her as compared to Daryl.
After the picture taking, Kel fed mei mei her milk. She managed to drink 10ml of milk in a very short time. We were so happy to see that. Hopefully she can be discharged from NICU soon.
