The bigger baby, Camille is still in the NICU as she is needing oxygen, and although technically she could be blamed for this inadequacy, I'm giving her a pass, as she didn't travel through the birth canal to get her lungs rung out. So although I haven't observed her as much as her sister, the smaller baby Sadie who was kicked out of the NICU today, I remain somewhat confident she hasn't done anything I could categorize as a mistake.
During the course of about 7 hours today I changed 5 of Sadie's diapers. To call what was inside the diapers poop is an insult to poop. A mixture of green slime and mud with the consistency of paste, I have been informed this is a very good sign. I am placing the passing of this mystery substance into Sadie's accomplishment column. Thus, although the ass sludge may appear to some to be a horrible error on her part, it is if fact, a cause for celebration.
Unfortunately, Camille doesn't have anything in her accomplishment column yet, but in mitigation, she has not really left her isolet, so she simply has not had the opportunities her sister has enjoyed. I am not playing favorites here, I am just calling it as I see it.
Today I did change Camille's diaper, and just as I took it off she peed on her bedding. Again, I have been told the act of peeing is positive; however, although the peeing was a favorable activity, she did it on her blanket, thus it has to be considered a wash-a neutral event.
I don't make the rules, and I understand this may seem harsh, yet just because a person is a baby is simply not enough to carry the day, there still has to be some standards which apply.
I have had this same program with the dogs for years. As can be imagined, most had more items in the mistake column, that was until Pinnter hacked into the program and changed everyones standing.
Although this may be a challenge, I have committed to it, and plan on using a back up for the data.
