Happy Birthday to our Lord!
This morning we had high hopes of changing into our Christmas outfit, but we ended up in our Christmas pajamas all day. Rowan is still not feeding well, and actually threw up all day on Christmas eve into the night and day today.
We have changed her to continuously feeding through the ng tube, and will most likely evaluate everything on Monday.
Looks like the "infection" that appeared in her blood cultures on Thursday may have just been a contaminated lab draw.... I may have some words for someone...
Now, Rowan is having to be poked for every lab draw because we had to take out her picc line due to the "infection". Today she was stuck 4 times. It breaks my heart.
All of these are minor components in the big picture. Her liver continues to function perfectly. Soon this will all be a bunch of memories. However, in the here and now it seems like there is always something...
Despite all of her nagging medical hiccups today, Rowan had a wonderful 1st Christmas! She opened all of her gifts, had a great time playing with the paper, and then bounced and bounced in her exer-saucer.
My mom, dad, brother and grandpa were here with us in the hospital. Hopefully, chance's mom will be able to come soon- we missed that side of the family today.
Wowza! Happy Rowan!
Rowan was ready for the camera, but dad wasn't....
I love all the pictures of Rowan! She sure looks like she is handling it all well. I'm so happy she doesn't have MRSA, hopefully that thought is able to overshadow the whole ordeal of PICC line removal and torturing your child with tiny needles. I am so sorry that y'all had to spend Christmas in the hospital, and she is still having to deal with so much discomfort! But YAY for being together! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Rowan, You look so happy! I'm sorry to hear your belly is still upset.
ReplyDeleteMegan, you are so right, these minor hiccups will be a faded memory soon.
