Nights and Days

Miss Natalie once again has her nights and days mixed up. Currently it is 12:30am and she is wide awake and happy. I guess that is what happens when they sedate you for several days. Oh well, we will get back on the right track again eventually.

Thursday was a pretty none eventful day, which was nice. She did get another IV put in. She is also getting to eat again. She is up to 2oz by mouth and they do the rest by feeding tube. She loves to eat, so I am not worried about get her back up to 4oz.

Since Natalie was doing so good on Thursday and not having any procedures, I took the opportunity to hang out with Carter. Carter had a great first week of school. We were blessed with finding a church in Coppell. He was a bit hesitant on the first day, but loved it once he started playing. This is his third school in the last few months. Poor kid has been bounced around way too much this summer, but he has surprisingly done amazing. I am just so happy to have him with me now. I missed the little guy this summer, though he is not so little anymore.

For now, they decide not to do the CT Angiogram and the Transesophegeal Echo. Dr. Forbess is not sure what he will gain from either of those at this time. They would have to re-sedate her and put the breathing tube back in. I think they were going ahead and going to run the tests when she still had the breathing tube, just so they had them for the future. However since she pulled the tube out last night, I think they decided to wait. Now that is my personal opinion, so who really knows.

I should find more out in Rounds later this morning on the plan.
