Thank you so much my friends!!! We just got an update from our Tallulahs nite nurse and things are going smooth right now. Earlier this morning one of her lungs punctured. They say its common with premies this small. They have been x-raying her regularly to see if the puncture is going to heal on its own or if they have to go in and fix it. The fear of them having to go in is infection. they suctioned out all of the extra oxygen that was getting to places that it shouldnt and are watching for the puncture to seal. So far so good. They have her heavily sedated so that she doesnt wiggle around and make matters worse. She has an iv in one hand and an insulin drip in the other. A feeding tube in her nostril and her breathing tubes in her mouth. A heart rate/blood pressure monitor on one heel and a heel warmer on the other heel to keep the blood sample wound from healing so that they dont have to prick her to draw blood every hour to test her sugar. It was a lot to see. Partly because we had such a good nite that i think we went in a little too confident and were shocked. I love this little thing so much that i feel helpless. I want to do so much to help her, but loving and praying are all that i can REALLY do. I am going to stay strong for her! I am going to make it through this! Tallulah is going to be home before I know it and im going to be one of those annoying parents that over protects their kid and never stops talking about her. This is the hope that i am living for right now. Thank you for your prayer! R
