Moved to an isolation room

He’s now a big 4lbs at almost two months old. Jack LOVES to eat and let’s us and “his staff”=the nurses, know when it’s getting close to time to eat again. He’s very happy that after his couple of sick days when he wasn’t allowed to eat at all, to be back up to his previous breastmilk allowance of as much as he wants every three hours.

This morning his doctor let the words slip that Jack would be discharged soon… That’s what happened before his last sick days 🙁

This evening Elizabeth and I went to find Jack at bed space 8 in the NICU where he’s been for his whole two months and he was gone… No Jack, no Jack’s bassinet, none of Jack’s balloons, stuffed animals, family photos or artwork from siblings!!
His nurse rushed over to explain he had been moved to an isolation room after some of his blood work came back with the news that he had norovirus, a very contagious gi effecting virus often wreaking havoc on cruise ships. He does not act sick and may not have it anymore at this point, but will be in his isolation room until he is discharged to prevent the virus spreading throughout the NICU. But he likes his new room, it’s quieter and has more room.
