Today has been a pretty uneventful day for Rachel. I called to see how her evening was and she had a pretty restful one. I like those calls! Her day today was also pretty restful. I called around lunch time to see how she was doing and she was just resting.......
I was at the hospital for a few hours just sitting with her and she was pretty stable. Tomorrow will be a big day - we see if the Indomethacin worked on the PDA. I keep praying that the second round worked. If it did she will have her other umbilical cord line removed!! Woo hoo! That also means that they will start small feedings with her as well.
I am not going to think about what the next step is if the second round of medicine didn't work. We will cross that bridge when we need to. Right now, happy thoughts and prayers that it did work!!
Depending on how I feel after dinner, I might go back up for a couple hours again, but tomorrow I will be there for the echo and stay after for a few hours so I might just call to see how she is doing. It gets harder and harder to leave after every visit. There are things I don't want to miss - like if she opens her eyes. I want to see that and just sitting there at her isolette is the most calming experience ever!
She is one of the nurses favorites in the NICU - they all like taking care of her and think she is a sweetheart. They also can't get over how much of a fighter she is. They like her fiestiness and her long eyelashes!!
Love,
Jenny and Rob
