Starting to Feel Better
So after a couple rough days in a row, it seams that our Callie is starting to feel better. Yesterday afternoon they decided to give her some anti-aggitation medicine becuase she just seemed really upset, especially when people touched her (which they do almost constantly!) The medicine sedated her a little and allowed her to sleep, which she hadn't done in two days. They repeated the medicine last night and she has continued to rest throughout the day without any additional doses. She has still had a few Bradys, but a lot less than the past few days. Her nurse even agreed that she had a good day. So we are hoping that she is starting to feel better. Her doctors said that if she is stable for a few days in a row, they will start her feeding again. We don't know what made her feel better, it could have been the medication, the blood transfusion, or several other things that they adjusted last night...we are just happy she is acting more like herself. I want nothing more in the world than for her to have some quiet time to heal and grow, without any new issues!!

Good to hear Callie is finally getting some rest. I can't imagine how hard all of this is on her tiny little body. I hope she continues to rest and rebuild her stregnth so she can eat again soon. Hang in there Mom and Dad!!

Maybe part of it is Callie adjusting to her new surroundings with new nurses, etc... at Johns Hopkins. Little ones are so perceptive like that! Mommy and Daddy are her constants. Glad to hear she is feeling better today. I'm sure it's hard on Mommy and Daddy to see her like that. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteHere's praying for another good day for Callie tomorrow.

We're praying that things will settle down now so baby girl can chill out for a little bit and get something in her belly. Great to hear she was able to get some good sleep. You're all in our thoughts and prayers, each and every day,

Your little one has already done such amazing things. She has certainly earned restful days and nights to heal and grow. This peacefulness should give you some time to feel better also Marci. I continue to pray for great medical attention and Callie's healing and growth. God bless each of you!
