Hospital Update- 3/27/2013

Email sent to friends and family on 3/27/2013:


Today was a good day for Miss Evin who turned 1 week old at 8:06 pm!  Last night was the “smooth rollercoaster” that we were looking for and today she has been recovering nicely.  The doctors have been pleased with her progress and so have Mommy and Daddy!

Highlights of the day:
-They put her back on IV fluids that will give her nutrition.  She was on these fluids before the surgery.
-They have been decreasing her ventilator settings and she is now breathing on room air.
- If all goes as planned they are looking to take her off the ventilator and take the tube out of her nose tomorrow!
-They removed her chest tube today.
-They have been weaning her off sedation so she has been moving more and more and opened her eyes to look around over an hour today!

I attached a picture of her opening up her little peepers and another of her snoozing after getting a bath, new bedding, and a new headband from the nurse.

Please continue to pray for Evin as we are on the road to recovery, but we still have some critical hurdles to jump.

Trying to keep her as comfy as possible after surgery.  The little rooster was put in her bed by her nurse during the night. :)

We were so excited to see these little eyes!  Mitch and I were in her face, eating up every bit of her.
