Monday when we arrived at the hospital we found some special visitors. Jeff made arrangements for his brother Brian to bring his Grandpa and Grandma Sanders down. Jeff felt like he needed his grandpa to give Gracelyn a blessing. Jeff's grandpa is the one the sealed Jeff and I when we were married and he and grandma Sanders mean a lot to the both of us. It was a great priveledge to have him lay his hands on her tiny head and bless her.
In the words of the nurse it was an "uneventful" evening and day. Surgery didn't happen. They told us Tuesday and now it looks like it could be as late as Wednesday. She is perfectly safe in the state that she is in and there are other cases that have come before her that are an emergency. We are both frustrated, but part of us feel like there is a chance that things can change between now and then. There is nothing we can do to change the situation and can only pray that this is the way things were intended to be. She is doing very well. She continued to open her eyes and cry today. She was very responsive to us both. We had a wonderful nurse today. She gave Gracelyn a pacifier and she LOVED it.
I think at this point she will take anything you put in her mouth. She has got to be so hungry. The nurse would wrap her up like a burrito, nice and tight, she was so comfy the whole day. The nurse also scrubbed her hair for the first time since she was born. Her hair isn't only black, but it is black and curly. My sweet friend Celeste brought us a wonderful care package and baby gifts which included some darling bows. The nurse put one of them in for me. It is red with snowflakes and a cute little snowman in the middle. I am begining to like this girly stuff! When we went down to dinner a family who had a child there last year left a bunch of gifts for us. We decided Mr. C could open them for Christmas for her. Every day is overwhelming there. You can't walk by the front door without watching people drop off donations and gifts for the children. As we were walking out we were met by Jeff's cousins wife, Giselle who brought us a cute teddy bear and bracelet. We hope to have another uneventful evening and get some answers tomorrow. We left a little early tonight since we had been there since 8 a.m. We told Cole we could go home and watch a movie together tonight and left grandpa and grandma to have some alone time with their new grandbaby. We left her in good hands.
