Addy has been very fussy the past few days, though it didn't seem like she was in pain--just frustrated. It didn't help that she had IV lines in both hands, 1 in her neck and 1 in her right leg. She also started out with 3 chest drains and pacer wires coming out of her chest. I am happy to report that her right hand is finally free (they removed her A-line today), Addy no longer has a forehead monitor, and 1 of her chest drain tubes was removed. Last night a nurse tracked down a mobile and a bouncer for her as well. She is much more agreeable now ;) Morphine gave her belly aches so the doctor took her off of that. She is now eating well and keeping it down. Valium has helped her out too!
It has been a long and gruelling recovery, but we must remember that it has been easier and quicker than many other childrens'. Still no mention of the word "home", but we remind ourselves that she is coming along nicely. Her pressures, rhythm, eating and output are good overall.
Here's a video of her playing this morning!
