Day 2.......still here. Steve and I both knew that the big man, aka Dr. Mageed :) wouldn't let Miss Brooke go home so soon. As much as we want her home and she is doing well, she has not tolerated full feedings yet. She had half strength feedings today and they went well. Tonight we tried the full strength formula. She made it through half of the feedings before she started dry heaving. So not sure what that means yet? It means she isn't 100% yet, but she's getting there. This morning Macy got up and checked Brooke's bed and the pack n play, then walked up to me and said "mom, where's Brookie?" OHHHHH!! Poor honey! Macy and Brooke did chat on the phone and we all came up this afternoon so Steve and I could switch spots. Brooke cried when they left and said "I go to!!" She loves her sisters so much. Overall she is doing well up here. She doesn't seem to mind too much. Unfortunately her IV didn't last and they had to put a new one in this morning and they had some issues getting her labs, but we hope we can prevent some of that tomorrow. They are checking into a CAT scan tomorrow. I assume it's to check her veins in her neck (because that's what they always check). So we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Steve told Brooke she was having a "picture" taken today and they did xrays. Now she HATES pictures. :)
"When your mind is occupied with thanking Me, you have no time for worrying or complaining." "Draw near to Me with a grateful heart, and My presence will fill you with joy and peace."
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances: for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ."
It's always a great reminder! God gives us our guides and answers in times of trials. We just need to remember to look to Him. What a perfect day to do that! Today and everyday.
