Okay, so my mom has been on my case all day about me writing a new blog post, since I haven't written one since Monday. (Side note: I just tried to spell "one" like "wone.") So this one's for you mother dear.
Scarlett is doing pretty good after her surgery. She is on a bit higher oxygen concentration, and her oxygen levels are still swinging. The like to try to keep them 88-90. Sometimes she goes as low as the 70s, and high as 100. I told them I would like to hold her tomorrow so that we can see if that helps. Usually when I'm holding her she keeps her rates steady and is more relaxed for the day, even when she's replaced in her isolette.
She's still taking a couple of meds she's been on since surgery. She's on a small dose of dopamine to help keep her blood pressure levels even. She's also every so slightly sedated on Fentanall just to keep her in a relaxed state, which helps with her healing, but also with her oxygen and respiratory rates. She had to have another blood transfusion today, because her little circulatory system isn't quite developed enough to make the red blood cells she needs.
Mommy has about had it with breast pumps. I hurt, I'm barely producing, and I want to sleep through the night. I'm sleeping tonight. I'm not waking up to pump. I'm taking this one for me.
We have been blessed again. We received about $500 in gift cards from MARSOC foundation. I really love our military community. They step in and take care of us so quickly, all we have to do is ask, and everyone falls in.
Huge thanks to Sarah Stapleton for the bag of preemie clothes she gave us, there are about 40 outfits in the bag, so Scarlett will be set on preemies.
Also huge thanks to Kelsey Martin. She sent up a car seat and stroller combo, and six boxes of baby clothes. I'm so serious, six boxes, and she said she still has a special present just for her. Scarlett isn't gonna need clothes forever. Maybe mommy and daddy can save for college then.
My Momma, Ma, and Joel got her last night. I'm so happy, cause I'm not much for being alone unless I want to be. We spent the day laughing and talking, and doing things together. I'm so glad to have them here. They're already spoiling Scarlett rotten, I'm worried to see how bad its going to be when she gets out of the hospital.
I really really really miss my husband. I went home and spent Tuesday night with him. I'm so ready for him to be here tomorrow so I can love on him and laugh at him.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and prayers. Don't forget to check my facebook page for the link to order yourself a baby Scarlett t-shirt. I want to come home and see those shirts in Wal-mart when Scarlett is older, so we can personally walk up and thank you ourselves.
