Here is a picture of our darling Callie showing off her bandage from her 1st surgery! The little pink heart under her arm is covering the stitches from her PDA ligation. I am sure she will like the fact that it is barely noticable when she is older!!
Today Callie was finally able to settle in at Johns Hopkins. Last night and this morning were a little rough because they kept examining her and drawing blood so she barely got a moments rest. This afternoon and evening she was finally able to catch up on some much needed rest. We got to speak with the Neurosurgery team today and it looks like Callie will be having her surgery on Friday. Right now it is scheduled for one o'clock, but that is subject to change. We also got to meet another family in Callie's room at the NICU that had the same procedure a few weeks ago and he doing great and has doubled his weight since. We are hoping Callie will be able to bounce back as quickly!! They haven't fed Callie anymore since the transfer and I don't imagine they will again until she has recovered from surgery. At her cares tonight, she is up to 1 lb 10 oz!! Thanks to everyone for your continued support and please keep Callie and her team at Johns Hopkins in your prayers.
May the good Lord continue to bless and keep each one of you on your journey. Prayers continue for you and the surgical team.

She is so cute. She looks like a little doll in that photo of her sleeping. I really admire your courage and her will and determination. God bless Callie in the next few days as she waits for surgery and continues to rest and grow. Bless her medical team with great skill, safety and grand success. God's peace to all of you.
ReplyDeleteShe really is a little angel! We are thinking about you and praying for good news and continued strength for these long days and nights. Hang in there Callie--you have the best Mommy and Daddy and the best Doctors taking care of you.

Marci and Lee,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great picture of Callie. I can see both of you in her.
1 lb 10 oz! That's great. Pretty soon she'll be 2 lbs...then 3 lbs...
Praying for another successful surgery just like the PDA surgery. Then on to more milk and getting stronger.
All our love,
Kim and Jack
