Still Waiting. . .




Lynnea has been keeping her saturation levels up throughout the day yesterday and today, which is very encouraging. She is still on a little bit of oxygen support, but most of the time she has her nasal cannula places other than in her nose (she's a big fan of only having it half in, and she still frequently manages to get it out of her nose entirely). She appears to be feeling better overall, and, now that she's feeling better, she's tired of hanging out at the hospital. She appears to be bored, so the nurses and I have had to continually find new ways to keep her happy. Today she spent time in the infant swing (which is something she often enjoys, but with all of the extra cords and wires that she's hooked up to in the hospital, it can be challenging to get her in and out of it, so I don't use it unless I'm pretty desperate), and we found a bunch of new toys for her to play with. She is constantly trying out new positions to lay in her crib as well; laying sideways is a favorite, and earlier today she took a nap laying upside down (which is kind of funny because the head of the bed is raised to help her breathe easier). We are still waiting for a surgery date; everything we've heard is that the plan is still to do it sometime next week.
