Two diaper changes in an hour

I took the regional bus that from Boulder to Denver and used that time to read up on some paperwork and articles that could apply to Jac. It was nice not to battle rush hour traffic given how tired I was this evening.

I made it to DCH tonight around 7:30 pm, and one of my first tasks tonight was to give Jac his evening diaper change.

About an hour later, Jac was crying and setting off the alarms (erratic/high respiratory rate, SpO2 desaturation, and high pulse rate) -- I checked his diaper and found that he needed another diaper change... He managed to pee a lot, and even had a little bit of poop which you see me wiping off:



I still don't have the magic touch. It breaks my heart to see him squirm around in discomfort as I change him. But, afterwards, I get the satisfaction of seeing him calm down and go back to a comfortable sleep as I put my hands on his head and his belly.
