Fiona is doing good today! Her feeds are back up to 4 cc/hr. Now hopefully tomorrow they can increase it to 5. I think she is still a little sore from the surgery. She wakes up and gets cranky for about 30 seconds and then falls back to sleep! And the little stinker keeps popping the vent tube off of the trach! She doesn't have much of a neck so everything is kinda squished and her chubby little chin hits it when she wiggles around and ends up knocking it off! It's not a huge deal, we just have to pop it back on. But one of the nurses said as kids get older sometimes they will do it on purpose for attention and because they think it is funny! And I can definitely see her doing that! Even though she shouldn't be moving around too much yet, she still has to have her dressing changed every 12 hours. Tom and I were a little nervous about doing it last night, but we had a nurse that we never had before so we figured it would be better for us to do it than someone that has never done it before. It went just as it normally does with her kicking and wiggling around. Hoefully tonight we can get her washed up because we didn't do that last night... And we should be able to put clothes back on her tonight, she has been a nakey baby since her surgery yesterday!
She got to visit with NeeNee and Poppa last night and today, and now she is visiting with Nana and Great Aunt Kim!
Well other than that there is not much to report, which is probably a good thing! Hopefully things keep going smoothly from here on out!
She doesn't like when you turn the lights on, she squints her eyes like she is doing in this picture! But sucking on her binky is much easier without that tube in her mouth!
I'm glad to hear she's doing so well after surgery. Hopefully, the soreness will go away soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's great!! The pain won't last long. I have had plenty of surgeries and the pain never lasted too long! I am sooo glad things are going your way! Love Uncle Bob
