They brought in the ultra sound this morning.  I got to see it this time!  The baby is doing really good.  It’s had a steady heartbeat of around 160 every time we check. Great news to know that the baby is doing fine and did great with the surgery!  (They checked it immediately after surgery as well, for those of you who were wondering.)

Natina’s eating on her own and getting better gradually.  Food is mostly liquid right now (chicken broth, pudding, water, apple sauce, apple juice) but it’s food and it’s staying down!  She’s moved from “pain” as her response when we ask to “sore.” So she’s definitely getting better pretty quickly.  They’ve also moved her from morphine to another pain killer (I can’t remember the name right now), it lasts longer and I think they’re going to prescribe it for her when we go home.

The doctors and nurses here have been really great.  I’ve been impressed with their nursing staff as well.  Everyone is really nice and caring.  Thanks St. Joe!

Good times (sarcasm implied), but we’re almost done.  It’s so nice to see her getting better finally!  Especially after days of nothing working.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and see how she’s doing!
