Nina was discharged from the hospital later that day, but since Niko couldn’t pee (due to the circumcision and jaundice — basically, he was dehydrated), he was still a patient. We kept waiting for that yellow line on the diaper to turn blue and when that finally happened Friday morning, we were excited, but the doctors and nurses wanted one more — and so did we because we didn’t want to have to come back.
It’s our son and we don’t like seeing him struggle, especially when it came to pee. We were getting very concerned. It was the same feeling every time he got examined by a nurse. How much blood and temperature/blood pressure takings or hearing screenings can a baby take?
Some of the nurses suggested ideas to help him pee like pouring water on his head, putting his hand in warm water, or strip him and wait for a pee fountain. One of those worked and when it happened, Nina and I cried with happiness and laughed because the pee fountain went everywhere!!! Finally, Niko was discharged at 1:30 on Friday afternoon.
I am OK with other people holding Niko (especially, when it came to the grandparents), but Nina was reluctant (and, I totally understand — Niko was in her womb for 9 months).
Can you believe that there are some (sick) people who harm children? They should be put away for life and never be allowed to reproduce.
