Weekend Report

Thank you for praying for Maelee's breathing during surgery recovery.  Deanna got very little sleep Friday night.  Maelee continued to be lazy with her breathing and had to be reminded with a nudge several times throughout the night.  The team was called in when was she was making Deanna nervous.  Praise god she never needed medical intervention.  

Saturday we worked hard to keep her pain managed.  She was pretty irritable, but seemed comfortable as far as pain goes.  She was acting hungry.  What a surprise from a girl who had a g-tube placed for lack of eating!  Unfortunately, she was not allowed to eat yesterday while the g-tube healed.  In the afternoon, she was started on feeds through her tube.  She continues to get the start-up dose Sunday night.  We are hoping that they will advance her feeds tomorrow.  

Matt stayed at the hospital Saturday night while Deanna got a brief break from the hospital.  Qiao Qiao loves spending time with her baba (daddy)!  Deanna brought the kids and dinner on Sunday night for shift change.  Deanna is back at her post.  

The plan is for Tuesday discharge.  Tomorrow should be a day full of lots of learning for Deanna.  We also need to get answers about all the behind the scenes work of case management.  We need to get supplies delivered so we are ready to care for Maelee at home.  Although it would be great to be home soon, we don't want to be home without out all of the needed supplies or the home care plan in place.

Thanks for praying!

Maelee enjoyed sitting on the couch Saturday, but getting there with all these cords was an adventure!

The kids enjoyed a date with mom at Sweet CeCe's.

Grandma and Grandpa Marquette came to meet Maelee.
Sorry, Papa and Grandma Candice!  Mom forgot to get a picture of your visit.  
The kids have loved their visits from grandparents this week!
