Pictures of Archer's Room

Archer's picture board and schedule. Schedule shows his nurse for the shift, assessment schedule, feeding amounts, and weight.

A shelf for Archer's Kate's Kart books and gifts.

A work area for Mom and Dad.

A reclining chair for kangarooing and swaddling, and a small couch to relax on.

His Vapotherm machine that feeds him oxygen. Set at 2.0 liters per minute, 28% oxygen,  and a humidified oxygen temperature of 35 degrees celsius.

A larger view of the Vapotherm stand that holds other equipment needed and liquids.

A monitor that shows the statistics of the leads that he wears. The green number is his heart rate (beats per minute),  the blue number is his oxygen saturation number (ideal number is between 88 and 98), and the white number is his breaths per minute. The box below this monitor shows his incubator temperature (27 degrees celsius), and it has other options to weigh him and such.

A refrigerator to keep milk, a food warmer, a scale to weigh dirty diapers, and a sink to help Mom and Dad stay clean when they handle Archer.

Archer is in here somewhere in his incubator. There are valves along the wall. At some point when he is off Vapotherm (when he can handle small amounts of liter flow) he will be receiving 100% oxygen "off the wall" from one of these valves.

Where Mom has stayed everyday since December 1st.
