Today has been the complete opposite of yesterday. Baby Girl slept so peacefully through the night (which meant so did Jeff and I). She has had a great day. She hasn't been given any pain medication since 2:00am.Whenever we would go in for prenatal visits and have ultrasounds she would have her hands up by her face. I have been surprised that she hasn't done it since she was born.Today when we woke up she had her hands up around her face and hasn't moved them all day. Our nurse thinks that she is finally at a happy comfortable state.
She passed her car seat test. In fact, we left her in for an hour after she was done because she was doing so well. 
We went down stairs for her echo and everything looks okay. I just tried to feed her and she showed no interest at all. Our nurse thinks it may keep us from going home tomorrow. However, she was sedated during the echo and that could be affecting her desire to do anything. She is finally free of everything but what she will be going home with. Her picc line was just taken out. Jeff and I have to learn to put the NG tube in tonight and then we will have passed all the "tests" to go home. Now we just need to get her eating and us comfortable enough to take her home with us.
Hi Andee, it's Sheri (Stevenson) Johnson. David and I have been keeping track of you guys and sweet little Gracelyn. I'm so glad things are looking up. She is beautiful. Before you know it she will be home with you and you will feel like a real family again. We are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteYeah! It's so good to hear that you will be coming home soon. I am glad little Gracelyn is doing so well. I can help you if you need anything in regards to her oxygen,feedings or if her NG comes out. Just let me know. We have lots of nurses in our ward and I know that anyone of use would be happy to help you with anything. Hope to see you soon. Cathy
