Obviously written a while back while still in the NICU

Throughout RT’s life he has had many things that should not happen happen. 

Last week it was his thermometer,  mom went to take his temperature,  he thermometer seemed to be working,  but then never beeped that it was done.  The screen was only partially working when she checked it. 

The nurse went and got another brand new in the box thermometer for us,  we tried again,  this one wouldn’t even beep when you hit the button to turn it on. 

Third one when you turned it on the screen would flicker in and out… statistically that is some weird odds. Eventually we got one that worked. 

RT is now in an open crib, it’s got metal bars instead of wooden slats. A very industrial cribette. Looks kind of like baby jail especially when we put him in a striped orange onsie!  So because he is in an open crib he is supposedly easier to steal even though he is hooked up to a ventilator and a monitor that watches his vitals..  They put an ankle monitor on his leg, this way he can’t walk off without being caught.

At the doorways to exit the nicu there are detectors that sense if he leaves the building, 

Well, his ankle monitor kept going off at the front desk alerting them it was being tampered with or he is escaping 3 different times overy 24 hours. 

4th one last night we found out the one he was wearing for the past few days wasn’t even activated anyways. 

Turns out it isnt “required” if on a ventilator System though. 

The RT factor
