The Sun WIll Come Up Tomorrow, You Can Bet Your Bottom Dollar.....

Now that I have placed that wonderful little ditty in everybody's head for the day -- you can thank me later -- Olivia had a pretty uneventful night. When we saw her last night, she ate a little for us, but mostly was resting after a stressful day. 

I guess she was not a very cooperative patient during the Echo, had to be restrained by Mom & Grandma for about 45 minutes to get all the pictures they needed.  Her subsequent blood gasses showed that she had exerted herself quite a bit. Ever since then her values have improved with each lab. Her Kidney values continue to improve, but her Bilirubin values have crept back up. Hopefully with regular feedings those will come back down, as they had before surgery.

She slept most of the night, had a couple hour spell where she was not very consolable, but finnaly settled down after they angled her upright in the bed, possible gastric reflux making her cranky. She was sleeping peacefully when I said "See Ya Later" to her this morning. Hopefully today can be another day of rest and recooperation and possibly moving to a general ward.

Luckily I'm only working 1/2 day today, so I get to see her this afternoon.
