Kara update

Day 2 of recovery. Kara is stil doing excellent, she has moved down to the step down service, which means their is a ratio 1 nurse to 2/3 patients, so that is very good! She is not eating to great since yesterday initial bottle and jar food, she got sick after her chest xray last night from all of the moving around. She has been in some pain this morning, but they gave her some pain meds and now she is resting comfortably. I have stopped nursing, she was weaning herself before the surgery and my supply is way down. It was a hard decision, but the right one for the circumstances. Right now we are trying rice milk, but may need to put her own formulas, however this morning she hasn't wanted anything.
The on call resident said that she will probably moving services (not location) from PICU to cardiology, which is another step towards her coming home, Aidan and Georgia miss her so much, Aidan keeps asking to go see her, unfortunately they don't let people under 18 in the PICU, so he can't.
Thanks again for all of the prayers and wel wishes!

Kara update

From today.

Kara update

She is moving right along, arterial line, central line and catheter came out this morning. She took a bottle of breastmilk this morning, so far so good. She may get babyfood today as well. She has been a little fussy off and on, but is sleeping again now. I got to hold her and slept in my arms too, it was so great to hold even though she still has few tubes still hooked up to her.

Kara update

We finally saw Kara about 4:00, she looked great, just lots of stuff hooked up to her. We left about 5:30, she still hadn't woke up yet, but we are going to try to get some sleep tonight. Just talked to the nurse, her breathing tube is out and she is doing great, all of her stats are good, she is still out, opened eyes twice, but is sleeping comfortably and looks good.
More tomorrow.
