I just got home from a visit with Miss Eve. Good news today. At around 5:30 this morning, the doctor had them decrease her bubble cpap pressures from 6 to 5. Typically, once a baby does well on 5, they move from the cpap to just the nasal cannula. But, since Eve does not do well with change, he may take the bubble cpap down to a 4 first and then talk about changing. Also, she had another chest xray and it's the clearest one she has ever had. Both her day nurse and night nurse were so excited about it -- it's a Big Deal!
I held her a little bit, but she wasn't loving it. After she got back into bed, she had a hard time setttling. Both her heart rate and O2 needs were high. I imagine it's just her getting used to the change in cpap settings.
Trev is having a sad day now. He was telling me he misses his sister and that he feels sad. Bill said that when I left tonight he was crying for me. If you know T, you know this is out of character for him.
Better day for me since we had some good news. I also went to Jazzercise class this morning. The workout was great (although I had to Tiger Balm my legs tonight!), but the people there were the real source of healing. Also, Bill's co-workers brought more snacks and lunches for the kiddos. They said we should expect at least two more weeks of it. It's like I have my group of sisters and Bill has his group of brothers and they're all taking care of us. Would it be cheesy to say my heart is full? Whatever -- my heart is full!
We are planning on going up tomorrow after the kids go to school. And one of us will give Eve her first real bath. 'Real,' meaning sitting in the little pink tub and not just a sponge bath. You can be sure I'll have pictures!
