6 days in the NICU

Beckham ended up spending 6 days in the NICU at Texas Health Southwest. He had to stay until he was able to get his sugar levels up and maintain them without an IV for 24 hours. Each time he was able to eat and maintain a bloodsugar level above 60, he got to have his IV turned down...the goal was to get off of the IV and then see if his body was able to maintain his sugar levels on his own. He was dismissed from the NICU on day 6 and diagnosed a "perfectly healthy baby boy", he got to go home earlier than his Neonatologist had expected!





Trying to get those sugar levels up!
