Rowan wasn't allowed to have anything to eat after 4am for her PICC line placement this morning under anesthesia.
Loooooooooong story short:
She didn't eat until 3pm and finally got her PICC line around 5pm using local anesthetic.
It was a horribly fussy day until she got to eat.
I think I could feel fire coming from my mouth and ears at some points this morning, but now that our PICC is in place, all is right with the world!
Thanks to our fabulous nurses and icu team advocating for us!
Mary from child life came by with some early birthday gifts...
And we have some surprise pictures for tomorrow's festivities.
In just a few hours our angel will be ONE!
Rowan's hemoglobin has been 5-5.8 today. More blood tonight.
They say it could take up to a week for the steroids to work.
Lots of pictures tomorrow- we will have a celebration!!!
I just saw that y'all have been dealing with all of this, I'm so sorry!!! That is so wonderful to hear that she is improving. I hope it continues and that y'all aren't too bummed about her birthday in the hospital. I will definitely be praying for a full recovery for Rowan and strength, hope, and comfort for you and Chance.
