Doing great today! Mommy is staying the night tonight... yeah, Girls night! They removed one of her PICC lines today and have stopped all IV fluids. Think she is only getting lasix now through the PICC once a day. This is great cause we can now play dress up. I bathed her today and dressed her twice! They stopped her heparin and started Lovenox, which is another blood thinner they give as a shot twice a day. Not too happy about that. She doesn't like it at all. Her legs are already bruised and knotted up. Poor girl... She'll be a tough one when this is all over. Watch out Jack! Yesterday her weight was 7# 4oz. Still struggling to eat all of her food by mouth, but think they are just overwhelming her with too much food too frequently.
What craziness going on here at TCH. "Swine Flu" chaos! Everyone talking about it. The entry way into building is also the waiting room for the ER. Everyone wearing masks. Let's just hope everyone is overreacting.
Thank you to all of her visitors: Meme & PawPaw, LeLe, Aunt Peggy, Aunt Patsy, Grandma & Grandpa Mike, Ackey & Uncle Frog, Aunt Lesli and Michael, G-Pa, Stacy, Michele, Becky, Theresa, Libra, Dr. Swaim, and whomever I might have left out.... We enjoy our visitors!
Precious!!! I can't believe it has already been 3 weeks! We are keeping the prayers coming! Can't wait until you get her home!
ReplyDeleteLove ya'll!

Dear Holly and Nathan:
ReplyDeleteAbigail is beautiful as I knew she would be! My thoughts and prayers are with her, you, and Nathan. You appear to be on top of everything, and that is good. Nothing like a mother's instinct! Can't wait to see you all, especially little Abigail. Love you guys, Uncle Bob
It great to see things looking up. Oh how we remember those little beds, sleeping head to feet! Sorry to hear about the Lovenox, we went through the same thing after Parrish was discharged. He had a blood clot as well following a heart cath- but he also had a stroke (the thought a piece of the clot travelled) but I am happy to hear they didn't seem to find the same for your little one. But we did the shots for 3 months- and I kept thinking 'please let him forget i had to do these shots to him!'. Glad to hear you are getting settled in. Let us know if you need anything!
