Uneventful

Today was a good day, just not much new, but no backtracking either. She is still on her oxygen and doing great, she was at 100% oxygen saturation all day. Was wide awake this morning and interacting with me. She rubbed my face this morning and was playing with my hair. I told her I was going to crawl in bed with her and snuggle with her and she smiled at me.

Got lots of smiles today. I held Jonah and Paige's picture up for her today and she was smiling and she took the picture from me and held it. She would lay it down and then hold it back up and look at it. Then this evening Luca talked to her on the phone and she got a really big smile. I miss that little guy so much, I was so glad to talk to him too! Nanny will be there in a few evenings to hug and kiss you Luca Luca!!!!

The infectious disease doctor checked her this morning. Said her tummy was looking good, less red and more drainage, which was normal. She took her off one antibiotic and put her on another one. Poor girl, she gets 5 different things through IV's. She has lines and tubes running everywhere. Lots of beeping going on at times.

Dr. Winn (might be how you spell it) the cardiologist was in this evening. Said her breathing was a bit labored, but her oxygen sat was perfect, nothing to worry about there. He explained that within a matter of days your lung muscles turn to jelly when they are not used and hers are just working on getting stronger.

She sat up for 2 hours this evening and did fine. Tried to escape again I do believe. One new thing is I noticed a blister that has popped up on her right arm. I know it was not there last night and I am pretty sure it was not there this morning. Told the nurse, she checked it and said they would chart it, keep an eye on it and let the wound nurse know about it.

While she sat in the chair, I laid across the bed and watched and talked to her. That bed is comfy!!! I told her I would stay in it for her tonight and get all the pokes and she could come sleep in my bed. She just rolled those eyes at me. She was staring off into space for quite awhile and I said "Mom, are you in there" and she focused on me and gave me one of those mother looks like I was an idiot. Hey, I was just checking.

As for me, yes everyone, I am taking care of myself and eating. I am more settled here in the house and have a sort of routine. I even painted my toes the other night. Bet you all wanted to know that! I did go to Walmart today and look around for a bit and got some frozen food to eat here at the house and went to Panera and treated myself to a Cinnamon Crunch bagel for breakfast in the morning. Came back and ate a sandwich at the kitchen table. Thunder laid at my feet and made me feel right at home! Time for bed.
