Recovering Well


We were at the hospital for 3 weeks,most of that time was in the NICU. The world of a neonatal intensive care unit is very quiet,but yet there is always a flourish of activity going on.We called our room "private",but it was usually used as an isolation room. We liked the isolation.We had a very peaceful setting for our little fighter. She had a window that let in beautiful sunshine & we played soothing music for her most of the day.She recovered from surgery very well,and way better than the doctors expected. The picture shows just how at peace she seemed. This made me feel at peace also. One of my biggest worries was that she would suffer. We chose to give her life(not terminate,as suggested) and we have never for one second regretted that decision.

Posted a few of the latest pictures so everyone can see how good she looks after surgery...She had a good night..Her pain medication was up to keep her comfortable,but had to be turned back down due to having a couple of episodes of apnea(stopped breathing for small amount of time)They think this could have happened because she was resting too well due to the medication or it could be a sign of some of the neurological problems that could happen,but this has not happened again(last was at 5 AM)and that is a very good sign. They said her head did measure smaller today(I think by 1 cm)and her back closure looks good..She definitely looks peaceful and always seems on seconds away from showing us a little smile...I am still playing catch up on rest,but otherwise couldn't be better...Thankful for every minute with our angel...God Bless..Love,Tina
