Day 4 Post Op...

Fresh after her bath, winding down with a movie... (ha, ha)

Heena, another one of our sweet nurses... Lost IV #3...

Michele, my milk mommy and me sharing some love...



Don't think I just looked at their beauty...


Today was a fairly good day. She had a few tummy aches but probably the addition of more milk. She was getting only 2 1/2 oz. every 8 hrs. and now they have increased it to 4 oz. every 6 hrs. The IV was not good any longer this evening so we are going to try to give her pedialyte in between feedings to give her liquids. They will probably make a decision when the c-diff results are back. Hopefully tonight or in the morning.

They will probably turn the epidural off tomorrow but leave the catheter in her back until later tomorrow or Wednesday. I am thinking that maybe by tomorrow afternoon she maybe allowed some baby food. The doctor mentioned a chance of going home Wednesday if everything went right.

We have also been moved out of PCU, which we loved all the nurses there! But we already have very sweet nurse here on the 11th floor tonight. I think there will be less noise at night and maybe we can make the room a little darker. She has been sleeping very lightly. Last night she wanted to party until 3 a.m. I began to give out around 1:30, so I slept in this morning til around 8 a.m. She didn't wake until around 10 a.m.

There is a sweet picture of Michele and Annabel, she is Annabel's milk mommy from this area. Not only did she bring Annabel some goodies (breastmilk) but she brought myself and the girls some beautiful cupcakes from Ooh La La. No, of course, I didn't just eat them for my lunch, no way! Michele give this beautiful gift of her milk to Annabel. She lost her precious, sweet Vivian in August. She also asked if there was anything she could do, or pick up for me or just run me around the block to get out. (This was tempting!) Thank you Michele for coming to the medical center and taking most of your day to keep us company.

I know I get tired sometime of getting on the internet, or just making a post. But I know it is everyones prayers that have carried Annabel thus far. Also, if Annabel's story give anyone hope then it is reason to keep on. But all of you out there, who comment, text, email, call or just read and pray, thank you! I probably have not responded back to you as I should and for this I am sorry, but know that you not only have carried Annabel this far but also you have carried me!
