isolation

Jacob has a cold, and was put in isolation on Monday. Actually, there is one other baby in the room because she also has a cold. I hate isolation. There are about 150 nurses that work in the NICU so I don't know a lot of them, and you are trapped in a room with one of them. It is really awkward if they aren't talkative and just sit and stare at you. It seems like the cold is getting better, but Jacob will have to be in isolation at least until Monday.
Other than that things appear to be going well. He has been tolerating feeds and they are slowly giving him more. He is up to 14 mls every 3 hrs now. He acts like he is hungry, which is sad, but a good sign. They will probably take him off of the morphine today, and he finished up his course of antibiotics yesterday so that should eliminate a few tubes. I counted the other day and he had 14 tubes/wires attached to him. Now I think that he is down to about 9, progress.
